Q5
Two boys were playing with the same ball on a level ground. One of the boys throws the ball on the third floor of the building which is at a height of 5 m and the other boy manages to throw on the fourth floor which is at a height of 7 m from the level ground. Then the ratio of the potential energy gained by the ball in both cases is:
