How to solve this problem and show steps of solving???

Given
Height of tower: 39.2
Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s2 

For the first stone:
initial velocity = u = 0 m/s

S = ut + 1/2 x a x t2
S = 4.9t2

For the second stone
initial velocity = u = 19.6 m/s

S = ut + 1/2 x a x t2
S = 19.6t - 4.9t2

19.6t - 4.9t2 = 4.9t2
19.6t = 2 x 4.9t2
9.8 = 4.9t
t = 2

So S = 4.9t2 = 4.9 * 4 = 19.6 m
