Detailed Solution

After 4 s, the ball will pass him going downwards.
Given data and assumptions:
Initial velocity, u = 20 m/s
Vertical distance covered, = 0 m (as the ball returns to the man)
Acceleration due to gravity, = -10 m/s2  (-ve as it working downwards)
Let the time taken, =t Using 2nd equation of motion,
h=ut+0.5gt2
0=20×- 5×t2
5= 20
= 4 s
