Solution
The correct option is C18s Let t be the time after which the separation between two bodies is 18m Let Srel be the relative distance between two bodies after time t ⇒Srel=18m Relative acceleration of two bodies during downfall =arel=g−g=0 Relative initial velocity of two bodies urel=1−0=1m/s Srel=urelt+12arelt2 ⇒18=1×t+0 ⇒t=18s
