Explanation:

Using the second equation of motion,
s = ut + 1/2 at^2s=ut+12at2
Put s = h
u = 0
a = 10ms^-2a=10ms2
We get,
h = (0)t + 1/2*10*t^2h=(0)t+1210t2
h = 0 + 5t^2h=0+5t2
h = 5t^2h=5t2 ----(1)
Thus we get a relation between distance covered by the body and time taken.
Now put t = t/2t=t2 in the equation (1)
h' = 5(t/2)^2
h' = (5t^2)/4

h':h = (5t^2)/4 : 5t^2
h':h = 1:4

Thus, the distance covered in 1/2 t is equal to 1/4h.
So, the distance of the body from where it was released is 1/4h.

Therefore,height of the body from ground is 3/4h.
