Dear Student

Let the distance travelled by the stone which is dropped from the top upto the instant when the two stones meet be x 

Initial velocity u = 0

Acceleration a = g = 9.8 m s-2

Using the second equation of motion
s  = ut +12at2x = 0×t+12×9.8×t2x =4.9t2      ...(i)

The distance travelled by the stone which is projected vertically upwards from the ground up to the instant when the two stones meet would be equal to 100 - x

Initial velocity = 25 m s-1

Acceleration a = -g = -9.8 m s-2

Using the second equation of motion
s  = ut +12at2100-x = 25×t+12×-9.8×t2100-x = 25t-4.9t2x =4.9t2-25t +100   ...(ii)

Equating x from (i) and (ii) we get

4.9t2 = 4.9t2  - 25t + 100

25t = 100

t = 4s

x = 4.9t2

x = 4.9 X 42

x = 78.4 m

100 - x = 100 - 78.4 = 21.6 m

The stones meet after a time of 4 seconds at a height of 21.6 metres from the ground.
