A body is projected vertically upwards with a velocity of 10 ms^-1 and another body is projected simultaneously from the same point with a velocity of 20 m s^-1 at an angle of pi/6 with the horizontal. The distance between the two bodies after one second from the time of projection is (Acceleration due to gravity is 10 ms^-2 )
