Solution

The correct option is C 25 ms1
Ball is thrown from the top of tower, height=h,
For the first case, velocity = u , Time t=9s,
Using s=ut+12at2 h=u×912×10×92
h=9u405 .....1
For the second case, velocity = u , Time t=4s,
Using s=ut+12at2 h=u×412×10×42
h=4u80 .....2
Equating equations 1 and 2,
9u405=4u80 u=25ms1
