    A stone dropped from a building of height \[h\] and it reaches after \[t\] seconds on earth. From the same building if two stones are thrown (one upwards and other downwards) with the same velocity u and they reach the earth surface after \[{{t}_{1}}\] and \[{{t}_{2}}\] seconds respectively, then [CPMT 1997; UPSEAT 2002; KCET 2002]

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

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

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

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

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    If a stone is dropped from height h             then \[h=\frac{1}{2}g\,{{t}^{2}}\]                         ?(i)             If a stone is thrown upward with velocity u then             \[h=-u\ {{t}_{1}}+\frac{1}{2}g\ t_{1}^{2}\]                               ?(ii)             If a stone is thrown downward with velocity u then             \[h=u{{t}_{2}}+\frac{1}{2}gt_{2}^{2}\]                         ?(iii)             From (i) (ii) and (iii) we get             \[-u{{t}_{1}}+\frac{1}{2}g\,t_{1}^{2}=\frac{1}{2}g\,{{t}^{2}}\]                              ?(iv)             \[u{{t}_{2}}+\frac{1}{2}g\,t_{2}^{2}=\frac{1}{2}g\,{{t}^{2}}\]                               ?(v)             Dividing (iv) and (v) we get             \[\therefore \]\[\frac{-u{{t}_{1}}}{u{{t}_{2}}}=\frac{\frac{1}{2}g({{t}^{2}}-t_{1}^{2})}{\frac{1}{2}g({{t}^{2}}-t_{2}^{2})}\]             or \[-\frac{{{t}_{1}}}{{{t}_{2}}}=\frac{{{t}^{2}}-t_{1}^{2}}{{{t}^{2}}-t_{2}^{2}}\]             By solving \[t=\sqrt{{{t}_{1}}{{t}_{2}}}\]
