Answer:

t = o.6 s

Explanation:

Let ball thrown from below be A and ball dropped from above be B.

A and B meet when they both are same level above the ground. Then let A moved up a distance d and B dropped a distance h. Then you know

d + h = 15 m  ---------------(1)

Now apply s = ut + [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]at²

To A upwards,

d = 25t - [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]gt²  -----------------(2)

To B downwards,

h = 0 + [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]gt² ----------------(3)

(1) = (2) + (3) ⇒ 15 = 25t

                         t = 0.6 s
