A ball is thrown horizontally at 12m/s from a height of 19.6m. What is its speed on hitting the ground? (Take g\=9.8m/s2

Vertical velocity: vy=2gh=2×9.8×19.6=384.16≈19.6m/s. As per NCERT Chapter 3, equations v=u+at, s=ut+½at², v²=u²+2as describe uniformly accelerated motion. Applying correct signs and units gives 20 m/s as the result, so option A is correct.

A stone is thrown horizontally at 12 m/s from a 80 m high cliff. How far from the base does it land? (Take g = 10 m/s²)

Time to fall: y = (1/2) g t², -80 = (1/2) × 10 × t² ⇒ t² = 16 ⇒ t = 4 s. As per NCERT Chapter 3, equations v=u+at, s=ut+½at², v²=u²+2as describe uniformly accelerated motion. Applying correct signs and units gives 48 m as the result, so option D is correct.
