Dear Chilukuri

let at hight h and after t second from the projection of second body both bodies meet

since first body projected t0 second earlier so

h=v(t+t0) -1/2 *g *(t+t0)2

 

for second body

h=vt-1/2 *g *t2

equate both

 v(t+t0) -1/2 *g *(t+t0)2  =   vt-1/2 *g *t2

simplify

2vt0/g =(2t+t0)t0

t={2v/g  -t0}/2
