Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
Height travelled by ball (with balloon) in 2 sec
Velocity of the balloon after 2 sec
Now if the ball is released from the balloon then it acquire same velocity in upward direction.
Let it move up to maximum height
therefore
Greatest height above the ground reached by the ball
