Answer: time is the same

Explanation: the distance(H) is the same in each case .

we drop the balls , no drag force using basic kimnematics

y =gt*t/2 , yo=0 , vo=0 , y=H , so : t= sqrt(2H/g)

comment: if distance H starts to grow....we could begin to note a difference because of gravity g is smaller as we go up
