Solution

The correct option is A 1
Let height of single storey is h, then total height from where stone was dropped, H=25h
Given, u=0,a=g,s=H,t=5
Therefore, using s=ut+12at2
H=0×t+12gt2
25h=12×10×52
h=5 m
So, height of one storey is 5 m
Now, distance travelled in 1 s=ut+12at2
=0+12g×12
=5 m
Therefore stone will pass through one storey in first second.
(A) option is correct
