Assertion: If a body is dropped from the top of a twoer of height h and another body is thrown up simultaneously with velocity u from the foot of the tower, then both of them would meet after a time (h)/(u) . Reason: For a body projected upwards, the distance covered by the body in the last second of its upwards journey is always 4.9m irrespective of velocity of projection (g=9.8 m//s^(2))
