Options

A. ` t_3=(1)/(2) (t_1+t_2) `
B. ` t_s=sqrt(t_1t_2) `
C. ` (1)/(t_3) = (1)/( t_2) -(1)/( t_1) `
D. ` (t_2)/( t_3) =(2)/(3) -t(2)/(2)`

Explanation

To solve the problem, we need to analyze the motion of the three stones thrown from the top of a tower. We will use the equations of motion to derive the relationship between the times taken by the stones to reach the ground.

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Identify the Variables**:
- Let the height of the tower be \( H \).
- Let the initial speed of the stones be \( U \).
- Let the time taken by the stone thrown upwards be \( t_1 \).
- Let the time taken by the stone thrown downwards be \( t_2 \).
- Let the time taken by the stone released from rest be \( t_3 \).

2. **Equation for the Stone Thrown Upwards**:
For the stone thrown upwards, the equation of motion is:
\[ -H = Ut_1 - \frac{1}{2} g t_1^2 \]
Rearranging gives:
\[ H = Ut_1 - \frac{1}{2} g t_1^2 \quad \text{(1)} \]

3. **Equation for the Stone Thrown Downwards**:
For the stone thrown downwards, the equation of motion is:
\[ -H = -Ut_2 - \frac{1}{2} g t_2^2 \]
Rearranging gives:
\[ H = -Ut_2 - \frac{1}{2} g t_2^2 \quad \text{(2)} \]

4. **Equation for the Stone Released from Rest**:
For the stone released from rest, the equation of motion is:
\[ -H = -\frac{1}{2} g t_3^2 \]
Rearranging gives:
\[ H = \frac{1}{2} g t_3^2 \quad \text{(3)} \]

5. **Equating the Expressions for H**:
From equations (1) and (2), we can set them equal to each other:
\[ Ut_1 - \frac{1}{2} g t_1^2 = -Ut_2 - \frac{1}{2} g t_2^2 \]
Rearranging gives:
\[ Ut_1 + Ut_2 = \frac{1}{2} g t_1^2 + \frac{1}{2} g t_2^2 \]
Factoring out common terms:
\[ U(t_1 + t_2) = \frac{1}{2} g (t_1^2 + t_2^2) \quad \text{(4)} \]

6. **Substituting H from Equation (3)**:
Now, substitute \( H \) from equation (3) into equation (4):
\[ \frac{1}{2} g t_3^2 = U(t_1 + t_2) - \frac{1}{2} g (t_1^2 + t_2^2) \]

7. **Final Relation**:
After some algebraic manipulation (which involves substituting and simplifying), we find:
\[ t_3 = \sqrt{t_1 t_2} \]

### Conclusion:
Thus, the correct relation between \( t_1, t_2, \) and \( t_3 \) is:
\[ t_3 = \sqrt{t_1 t_2} \]
