The correct answer is: 120

The speed of ball just before collision with ground is vi2=0+2ghi

 vi=2ghi

=2×10×9.8

=14 m s-1  Downward

The speed of ball just after collision is 0=vf2-2ghf

vf=2ghf

=2×10×5

=10 m s-1  Upward

Average acceleration of ball is aavg=ΔvΔt=vf--vit=10+140.2=240.2=120 m s-2.
