Detailed Solution

$Time taken to reach highest point = \frac{usinα}{g}$

$At highest point, m (usinα) - m (usinα) = 0$

They fall freely to ground

$Time of fall t_{d} = \sqrt{\frac{2 H}{g}} = \sqrt{\frac{2}{g}} (\frac{u^{2} \sin^{2} α}{2 g}) = \frac{usinα}{g}$

$Total time from firing is t = \frac{2 usinα}{g}$
