The correct answer is:
A

At maximum height velocity is zero.

From equation of motion we have

v^{2} = u^{2} + 2gh

where v is final velocity, u is initial velocity. Since ball reaches maximum height, velocity at the highest point is zero. Therefore, we have

\(v = 0, u = v_0 \\ \Rightarrow v_0 = \sqrt{2gh}\)

when h' = 3h then

\(\mathbf{v_0'} = \sqrt{2g \times 3h} = \sqrt{3} \sqrt{2gh} = \sqrt{3} \mathbf{v_0}\)
