Explanation by: Team MCQ Buddy 
Galileo’s experiment showed that if two bodies of unequal masses are dropped from the same height, the time required by them to reach the ground are equal. If they are thrown vertically upwards with the same initial velocity, then the ratio of the time required to reach the ground is equal to unity. This means that both of them will reach the same height.
