$A$ ball is thrown straight upward from the ground with a speed of $20 \,m/s$. The ball is caught on its way down at a point $5 \,m$ above the ground. The time taken by the ball during the entire trip is (assume $g = 10 \,m/s^2$):

  • A
    $2+\sqrt{3} \,s$
  • B
    $3-\sqrt{3} \,s$
  • C
    $2+\sqrt{2} \,s$
  • D
    $3.5 \,s$

Assertion $(A)$: The displacement of a vertically projected body during the last second of its upward motion is $\frac{g}{2}$.
Reason $(R)$: For a vertically projected body,the acceleration decreases gradually and becomes $\frac{g}{2}$ during the last second of upward motion.
