The correct answer is:
When a ball is dropped on a floor then

y=12 gt2                    i

So, the graph between yand t is a parabola. Here y decrease as time decrease. When the ball is bounces back then

y=ut-12gt2          ii

Eq. (ii) is also the form of a general equation of parabola so the graph between y and t will be a parabola. Here y increases when the time increases. Hence, the required graph between y and is shown in the figure.
