Two stones $A$ and $B$ are dropped from a multi-storey building. Stone $A$ is dropped from $100 \, m$ and at the same time stone $B$ is dropped from $50 \, m$ height. Both of them reach the earth at the same time. Will they have equal velocity while reaching the ground? Calculate and find out the answer (Take $g = 10 \, m s^{-2}$).

  • A
    Yes,they will have equal velocity.
  • B
    No,stone $A$ will have higher velocity.
  • C
    No,stone $B$ will have higher velocity.
  • D
