A body projected vertically upwards with a certain speed from top of a tower, reaches the ground in time t1.t_1. If it is projected vertically downwards with same speed from same point, it reach the ground in the time t2.t_2. Time required for it to reach the ground if it dropped from the same point and projected horizontally with same speed, respectively are
