Solution
The correct option is Cta<td Answer is C. Let the velocity of projection be V and the velocity of the block when it returns back = V'. Then V > V' since some kinetic energy is lost to friction. Hence, the average velocity during ascent is greater than the average velocity during descent. If the velocity is greater the time taken becomes lesser. Therefore, ta < td.
