Question:
Pebbles are dropped freely for every half second into a river from a bridge above it. When the first pebble is about to strike the surface of the water, the fifth pebble is dropped. Then the height from the surface of the water from which the pebbles are dropped is (Acceleration due to gravity = 10 m/s²).

The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Using Free Fall Equation
\[ s = \frac{1}{2} g t^2 \] For the first pebble: \( t = 2 \) sec \[ s = \frac{1}{2} \times 10 \times (2)^2 = 20 \text{ m} \] Step 3: Conclusion
Since the height is 20 m, Option (1) is correct.
\[ s = \frac{1}{2} g t^2 \] For the first pebble: \( t = 2 \) sec \[ s = \frac{1}{2} \times 10 \times (2)^2 = 20 \text{ m} \] Step 3: Conclusion
Since the height is 20 m, Option (1) is correct.
