Solution

The correct option is D t1=t2=t3
The acceleration due to gravity g is independent of the mass m of an object. Hence, if the other forces like the air resistance are neglected as in the case of a vacuum, The time t1,t2 and t3 for a five-rupee coin, a feather of a sparrow bird and a mango respectively to reach the ground if dropped simultaneously from the same height will be same.
Thus, we get t1=t2=t3.
