Detailed Solution

Let the balls be thrown vertically upward with speed  u.

Using (0)2-u2=2(-g)H, we get the maximum height attained by the body.

After reaching maximum height the body will freely fall,

v2=2gu22g

v=u

As a result, the balls will fall through the projection point at the same speed (v).
The highest height and the downward velocity achieved are independent of the ball's mass, according to the formulae that were used.
