Two balls $A$ and $B$ are thrown with the same velocity $u$ from the top of a tower. Ball $A$ is thrown vertically upwards and ball $B$ is thrown vertically downwards. Choose the correct statement.

Assertion $(A)$: The displacement of a vertically projected body during the last second of its upward motion is $\frac{g}{2}$.
Reason $(R)$: For a vertically projected body,the acceleration decreases gradually and becomes $\frac{g}{2}$ during the last second of upward motion.

Two bodies $A$ (of mass $1\,kg$) and $B$ (of mass $3\,kg$) are dropped from heights of $16\,m$ and $25\,m$ respectively. The ratio of the time taken by them to reach the ground is:
