$A$ man throws balls with the same speed vertically upwards one after the other at an interval of $2\,s$. What should be the speed of the throw so that more than two balls are in the sky at any time? (Given $g = 9.8\,m/s^2$)

$Assertion$ : Two balls of different masses are thrown vertically upward with the same speed. They will pass through their point of projection in the downward direction with the same speed.
$Reason$ : The maximum height and downward velocity attained at the point of projection are independent of the mass of the ball.
