Here, m = 1 g = 10-3 kg

           h = 1 km = 1000 m

          g = 10 ms-2, v = 50 ms-1

Loss of potential energy of the drop

    = mgh =  (10-3 kg)(10 ms-2)(1000 m) = 10 J -----(i)

Hence, option (a) is correct.

Gain in kinetic energy of the drop

  = 12mv2 = 12×(10-3kg)(50 ms-1)2 = 1.25 J -----(ii)

Hence, option (b) is correct.

From (i) and (ii), we get

Loss of potential energy of the drop  Gain in kinetic energy of the drop.

Hence, option c) is also correct
