The correct answer is: t2=2-1t1

As the body is dropped from a certain height h, its initial velocity will be zero.

For first half, h1=h2.

Using second equation of motion, s=ut+12at2

We have, h2=12gt12.

Time taken in travel first half of the height, t1=hg    ...1.

For total height h, using again second equation of motion,

h=12gt1+t22t1+t2=2hg    ...2

From equation 1 and 2

12=t1t1+t2

1+t2t1=2

t1t2=12-1

Thus, the relation is t2=2-1t1.
