Solution
The correct option is Bg(t1+t2)2 When the body is projected, it takes time t1, to cross h, then another t′1 to go to hmax when v=0. Then the initial velocity become u′=0 and takes time t to reach the ground. 0=u−gt t−u/g. t1+t′1=t=u/g. ∴t1+t′1=u/g. t1=(u/g)−t′1 t2=t+t′1=ug+t′1 ∴t1+t2=(2u)/g ⇒u=g2(t1+t2).
