placing origin of the coordinate system at the point of dropping.

-44.1=-4.9t2 ==> t=3s

-44.1=2u-19.6 ==> u=-12.25m/s

x=44.1m
a=9.8m/s2
u=0
Wkt,
x=ut+1/2gt2
44.1=1/2*9.8*t2
t2=441/49
t=3 sec. So the second stone will come down in 3-1=2sec
Therefore, applying the same eqn again we get,
44.1=2u+1/2*9.8*4
44.1=2u+19.6
u=12.25m/s
