    STATEMENT-1: When a body is dropped and another body is thrown horizontally from the same height, it reaches the ground at the same time. STATEMENT-2: They have same acceleration and same initial speed in vertical direction.

    A binary star system is revolving in a circular path with angular speed 'omega' and mass of the stars are 'm' and '4m' respectively. Both stars stop suddenly, then the speed of havirer star when the separation between the stars when the seperation between the stars becomes half of initial value is :
