a body is projected vertically downwards from A,
h = ut1 + 0.5gt1^2 ….............................(1)
it is projected upwards with same velocity
h = ut2 – 0.5gt2^2........................(2)
 time it will reach the ground if it is dropped from A
h = 0 + 0.5gt^2..............................(3)
solve the three eqns. and get t in terms of t1 and t2.
