  1. A man standing on a edge of a cliff throws a stone vertically upwards with a certain speed. He then throws another stone downwards with the same speed. Find the ratio of the speeds of the two stones when they hit the ground.
    1. 1 : 1
    2. 1 : 2
    3. 1 : 4
    4. Cannot be found from the given information.
Correct Option: A

The stone which is throws upward will have the same velocity of u at the point of its original position when it is falling down. Another stone is thrown downwards with u. So the velocity of both the stones is equal at the original point. Hence both stone will hit the ground with same velocity. So the ratio between the speeds of two stones will be 1:1
