Solution

The correct option is B 11:9
The body reaches maximum height in 6 seconds and the velocity will be zero at maximum height.
v=ugt
0=u(9.81)(6)
u=58.86 m/s
Distance traveled in the first second is:
s1=58.86(1)0.5(9.81)(12)=53.955 m
Distance traveled in the eleventh second is the distance traveled in the 5th second during the descent, i.e.,
s11=0.5(9.81)(5242)=44.145 m
The ratio is:
53.955:44.145=11:9
