The gravity in space is given by \(\vec g=-10 \hat j\ \text{m/s}^{2}\). Two particles are simultaneously projected with velocity \(\vec u_1=10\ \text{m/s} \hat i+10\ \text{m/s} \hat j\) and \(\vec u_2=20\ \text{m/s} \hat i+10\ \text{m/s} \hat j\). Then, the ratio of their times of flight is:

1. \(1:1\)

2. \(1:2\)

3. \(2:1\)

4. None of the above
