Answer:

Both will hit the ground simultaneously.

When a body is projected horizontally, its initial vertical velocity is zero and vertical acceleration is g, the acceleration due to gravity.

The values of a velocity and acceleration of a freely falling body are also the same.

So, both will hit the ground simultaneously
