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
