The low of motion of and object due to gravity is
y(t)=v_0 t-(gt^2)/2=10t-5t^2.
Y axis is directed upwards. The origin is placed on the top of the building.
Coordinate of the object after 3secs it is thrown:
y(3)=-15.
Thus, the object will be 15m below the top of the building.

Answer: b) 15m below the top of the building
