Solution

The correct option is C 1 : 1

For first particle: $v^{2} = u^{2} + 2 g h \Rightarrow v = \sqrt{u^{2} + 2 g h}$
For second particle: $v = \sqrt{v_{x}^{2} + v_{y}^{2}} = \sqrt{u^{2} + (\sqrt{2 g h})^{2}} = \sqrt{u^{2} + 2 g h}$
So the ratio of velocities will be 1 : 1.

The correct option is C 1 : 1 For first particle: v2=u2+2gh⇒v=√u2+2gh For second particle: v=√v2x+v2y=√u2+(√2gh)2=√u2+2gh So the ratio of velocities will be 1 : 1.
