Answer:

Explanation:
Given that,
Velocity of the  airplane, v = 240 m/s
Angle with horizontal, 
The altitude of the plane is 2.4 km, d = 2400 m
Vertical speed of the airplane, 
Horizontal speed of the airplane, 
So, the equation of the projectile for the flare is given by :

On solving the above equation, we get the value of t as:
t = 13.04 seconds
Horizontal distance travelled, 


d = 2710.23 m
Let  is the angle with which it hits the target. So,
 is the angle with which it hits the target. So, 


Hence, this is the required solution.
