Solution

The correct option is B $25 m$
Distance at a given time is given by equation,
$S = u t + \frac{1}{2} a t^{2}$
For first body, $u_{1} = 0, S = S_{1}, a = g, t_{1} = 3 s e c$
$∴ S_{1} = \frac{1}{2} g \times 9$
For second body, $u_{2} = 0, S = S_{2}, a = g, t_{2} = 2 s e c$
$∴ S_{2} = \frac{1}{2} g \times 4$
So difference between them after $3 s e c = S_{1} - S_{2}$
$= \frac{1}{2} g \times 5$
If $g = 10 m / s^{2}$ then $S_{1} - S_{2} = 25 m$
