Solution

The correct option is B $5 m$
According to question, second ball is thrown $1 s$ after the first ball and at this instance first ball is at its maximum height. This is because at maximum height, velocity of the ball is $0$ .
$\Rightarrow$ Time taken by the ball to reach maximum height is $1 s$ .
$\Rightarrow$ Height $= \frac{1}{2} g t^{2} = 5 m$
