    A stone dropped from a balloon which is at a height\[h\], reaches the ground after \[t\] second. From the same balloon, if two stones are thrown, one upwards and the other downwards, with the same velocity u and they reach the ground after \[{{t}_{1}}\] and \[{{t}_{2}}\] second respectively, then

    A) \[t={{t}_{1}}-{{t}_{2}}\]                

    B) \[t=\frac{{{t}_{1}}+{{t}_{2}}}{2}\]

    C)  \[t=\sqrt{{{t}_{1}}{{t}_{2}}}\]                    

    D)  \[t=\sqrt{t_{1}^{2}-t_{2}^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    From equation of motion, we have                 \[s=ut+\frac{1}{2}g{{t}^{2}}\] where, \[u\] is initial velocity, \[g\] the acceleration due to gravity and \[t\] the rime. For upward motion                 \[h=-u{{t}_{1}}-\frac{1}{2}gt_{1}^{2}\]                                   ... (i) For downward motion                 \[h=-u{{t}_{2}}+\frac{1}{2}gt_{2}^{2}\]                                  ... (ii) Multiplying Eq. (i) by \[{{t}_{2}}\] and Eq. (ii) by \[{{t}_{1}}\] and subtracting Eq. (ii) by Eq. (i), we get                 \[h({{t}_{2}}-{{t}_{1}})=\frac{1}{2}g{{t}_{1}}{{t}_{2}}({{t}_{2}}-{{t}_{1}})\]                 \[h=\frac{1}{2}g{{t}_{1}}{{t}_{2}}\]                                           ... (iii) When stone is dropped from rest\[u=0\], reaches the ground in t second. \[\therefore \]  \[h=\frac{1}{2}g{{t}^{2}}\]                                           ... (iv) Equating Eqs. (iii) and (iv), we get                 \[\frac{1}{2}g{{t}^{2}}=\frac{1}{2}g{{t}_{1}}{{t}_{2}}\]
