Solution

The correct option is C


If a stone is dropped from height h then

h=12gt2 .....(i)

If a stone is thrown upward with velocity u then

h=ut1+12gt21 ........(ii)

If a stone is thrown downward with velocity u then

h=ut2+12gt22 ............(iii)

From (i)(ii) and (iii) we get

ut1+12gt21=12gt2 .................(iv)

ut2+12gt22=12gt2 ..................(v)

Dividing (iv) and (v) we get

ut1ut2=12g(t2t21)12g(t2t22) or t1t2=t2t21t2t22

By solving t =t1t2
