Dear Student,
The maximum range will depend on the horizontal velocity and the time it takes to reach ground.
v=√2ag
the displacement when it reaches ground is h
h=ut+at2/2
=>h=vsint-gt2/2
=>gt2-2vsint+2h=0
=>t=vsin+√(v^2  sin^2⁡-gh)/g
Range=vcos x t
=√2ag cos x (√2ag sin+√(〖2ag 〗^  sin^2⁡-gh))/g 
Here   = thetha.
Cheers!!
