Drops of water fall at regular intervals...

Drops of water fall at regular intervals from the roof of a building of height `h=16m`. The first drop striking the ground at the same moment as the fifth drop is ready to leave from the roof. Find the distance between the successive drops.

A

`1m, 5 m, 7 m, 3 m`

B

`1m, 3 m, 5 m, 7 m`

C

`1 m, 3 m, 7 m, 5 m`

D

None of the above

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`S_(1)+S_(2) +S_(3) +S_(4) =16 m`,
`1: 3: 5: 7`
Solve to get `S_(1) =1 m`,
`S_(2) =3 m`, `S_(3) =5 m`, S_(4) =7 m`,
