Solution

The correct option is B 3.75 m

Time taken by first drop to reach the ground t=2hg

t=2×510=1 sec.

As the water drops fall at regular intervals from a tap therefore time
difference between any two drops =12sec.

In this given time, distance of second drop fron the tap=12g(12)2=55=1.25 m

its distance from the ground =5-1.25 =3.75 m.
