where,
u is the initial velocity in the vertical direction which is 0
s is the vertical displacement from the ground which is −78.4m
a is the acceleration due to gravity g=−9.8ms

Upon substituting these values we get t=4s
Since the flight is moving in the horizontal direction with a speed of 150m/s, the distance covered by the bomb in the horizontal direction by the time it reaches the ground is given by (150∗4)m which is equal to 600m
∴The bomb should be released 600m away from the target
