 Total force cownwards =\mathrm{m g+F=60}
\mathrm{a_{1}}=retardation during ascent=\mathrm{12 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}}
 

During descent:

During descent
Total force downward =\mathrm{m g-F} = 40
\mathrm{a_{2}}= refartation during descent =\mathrm{8 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}}
Time of ascent or descent is
\mathrm{ \begin{aligned} &T=\sqrt{\frac{2 h}{a}} \\ &\therefore \frac{T_{a}}{T_{d}}=\sqrt{\frac{a_{2}}{a_{1}}}=\sqrt{\frac{2}{3}} \end{aligned} }
The correct opfion is (2)
