$A$ particle is projected vertically upwards with a speed of $16 \ m/s$. After some time,when it again passes through the point of projection,its speed is found to be $8 \ m/s$. It is known that the work done by air resistance is the same during upward and downward motion. Then the maximum height attained by the particle is ...................... $m$ $(g = 10 \ m/s^2)$.

  • A
    $8$
  • B
    $4.8$
  • C
    $17.6$
  • D
    $12.8$
