MS Physics Subject Portion 2018

My name is Hamza Abbasi . I am from Ned university of engineering and technology Karachi. I have
documented the question that I and my friends have remembered for the next batch. Please note that the wording
that I have used might be a little different from the one asked in the problem but it will give you a clear idea about
the question asked in 2018. Please ignore the grammatical mistakes!

one I marked correct was : The velocity while moving upward will different from when it will be moving
downward at the same point.
