Two stones are thrown from the top of a tower, one straight down with an initial speed and the second straight up with the same speed. When the two stones hit the ground, they will have speeds in the ratio :

A

`2:3`

B

`2:1`

C

`1:2`

D

`1:1`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
d
Apply `v^(2)-u^(2)=2aS`. Both stones can be considered to fall through same height with same velocity.
