A body is thrown vertically upwards from the ground. It reaches a maximum height of $$20\,m$$ in $$5\,s.$$ After what time it will reach the ground from its maximum height position?
A.
$$2.5\,s$$
B.
$$5\,s$$
C.
$$10\,s$$
D.
$$25\,s$$
Answer :
$$5\,s$$
Solution :
Time taken by the body to reach the ground from some height is the same as taken to reach that height. Hence, time to reach the ground from its maximum height is $$5\,s.$$
