Solution

The correct option is B 15 m
After t=2s the velocity of the platform in the upward direction is: v=u+at
v=0+5(2)=10 m/s
Height of platform from ground at this time is:
h=ut+12at2=0+12(5)(4)=10m
From ground frame the velocity of stone is vertical direction:
vy=10 m/s
and velocity of stone in horizontal direction:
vx=10 m/s
So motion of stone is a projectile with angle tan11010=45o and initial velocity =102 m/s
So max height from 10m level with respect to ground is:
hmax=u2sin2θ2g=(102)2(1/2)2(10)=102=5m
Hence net max height from ground =10+5=15m.
