    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 time. 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 \[\frac{1}{2}g{{t}^{2}}=\frac{1}{2}g{{t}_{1}}{{t}_{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[{{t}^{2}}={{t}_{1}}{{t}_{2}}\Rightarrow \sqrt{{{t}_{1}}t & {{ & }_{2}}}\]
