  • A X and Y will be 500 m from each other
  • B Y will be 500 m ahead of X
  • C X will be 500 m ahead of Y
  • D X and Y both be 500 m from the poin of throw
Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation:
v2 = U2 - 2G s
0 = 1002 - 2 x 10 x s = 10000 - 20s
s = (10000)/20 = 500m
Which is independent of mass.the two bodies where acted upon by the same retarding force of gravity which is independent of mass of the body; therefore both will be 500 m from the point of throw.
