a)Let initially the first ball be at height h​1, and takes t1 time to reach  the ground = 5 second, and 
let initially the second ball be at height h​2, and takes t2 time to reach  the ground = 5-2= 3second
for first Ball                                                            For second ball
s = ut+1/2gt2                                                                          s = ut+1/2gt2  
h1 =  0 +1/2 g (5)2                                                h2 = 0 +1/2g(3)2
h1 =  25g/2   ...........1>                                          h2   = 9g/2      .............2>
now the difference in height is h1  - h2  =  ​ 25g/2   -  ​9g/2
                                                          = 16g/2  =8g 
                                                           8 x 9.8 =78.4 meter
  b)first ball dropped from the height = h1 = 25g/2 =122.5 m
