  • A
    $30$
  • B
    $12.5$
  • C
    $25.5$

$A$ ball is projected from a point $O$ as shown in the figure. It will strike the ground after ........ $s$ $\left(g=10 \, m/s^2\right)$.

Three balls,$A, B$ and $C$ are released and all reach the point $X$ (shown in the figure). Balls $A$ and $B$ are released from two identical structures,one kept on the ground and the other at height $h$ from the ground as shown in the figure. They take time $t_A$ and $t_B$ respectively to reach $X$ (time starts after they leave the end of the horizontal portion of the structure). The ball $C$ is released from a point at height $h$,vertically above $X$ and reaches $X$ in time $t_C$. Choose the correct option.
