Solution

The correct option is C
Both the bodies will reach the ground at the same time.

The coin and the feather will reach the ground at the same time if thrown from the same height because in a vacuum the motion of a body does not depend on its mass as there is no air resistance.
Acceleration due to gravity is independent of mass of the object.
Final answer: Hence, option (c) is the correct answer.
