Solution

The correct option is C 100 m
Let the velocity of projections be v1 and v2.
Relative velocity of ball 2 w.r.t 1, urel=v2v1=6040=20 m/s

Since, both the balls are moving under constant acceleration due to gravity. Therefore, relative acceleration of ball 2 w.r.t ball 1 will be zero.
arel=0

Position of ball 2 w.r.t ball 1,
srel=urelt+12arelt2
srel=20×5
srel=100 m

Hence, option (C) is the correct choice.
