An elevator without a ceiling is ascending up with an acceleration of \( 5 \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{~s}^{-2} \). A boy on the elevator shoots a ball in vertically upward direction from a height of \( 2 \mathrm{~m} \) above the floor of elevator. At this instant, the elevator is moving up with a velocity of \( 10 \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{~s}^{-1} \) and floor of the elevator is at a height of \( 50 \mathrm{~m} \) from the ground. The initial speed of the ball is \( 15 \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{~s}^{-1} \) w.r.t. the elevator. Consider the duration for which the ball strikes the floor of the elevator in answering following questions:
The maximum separation between the floor of elevator and the ball during its flight would be
(1) \( 30 \mathrm{~m} \)
(2) \( 15 \mathrm{~m} \)
(3) \( 7.5 \mathrm{~m} \)
(4) \( 9.5 \mathrm{~m} \)
