Solution

The correct options are
A
have same velocities at any instant.

D
The same acceleration due to gravity of Moon is applied on both the objects.

In a free fall, velocity depends only on the acceleration produced by gravity. The acceleration due to gravity is independent of the mass of the body. Hence, the same acceleration due to gravity of Moon is applied on both objects. So, they will have the same velocities at any instant irrespective of their masses. The two will not experience the same force as force is dependent on mass and mass of the body is different here.
