Dear Student,
From The Newton’s motion eqns. 
let the heights be:
ha=u12sin2q1/2g
hb= u22sin2q2/2g
hc= u32sin2q3/2g

ha=hb=hc=h (GIVEN)

t1,t2,t3 are the time required by A,B and C to complete the motion.

t1=2u1sinq1/g
=>t12=4u12sin2q1/g

Mathematically by the formula above,
ha+t12=1+3t12/2
ha=1+t12/2

Similarly, hb=1+t22/2
hc=1+t32/2

as ha=hb=hc
=>1+t12/2=1+t22/2=1+t32/2
=>t1=t2=t3
Hnece Proved.
Cheers!!
