Let H be the height of the building and t be the time to fall through this height H. 


Then H = ½ g t^2 = 5 t^2. ----------------- (1) 


In (t-1) second the distance traveled is 1 - 0.36 H = 0.64 H. 


0.64 H = 5 (t-1)^2.---------------------------(2) 


(2) / (1) gives 0.64 = (t-1)^2/ t^2 


Or 0.8 = (t-1) / t 


Solving we get t= 5 second. 


Using (1) we get H = 125 m.

here equations of motion will help

S=ut+0.5at²
in case of free fall u=0
so S=0.5at².............(i)

Now in laste second it covers 36% of the total height
that means in (t-1)s it covers 64%of the height

substituting in equation  we get
0.64S=0.5a(t-1)².................(ii)

Now devide eq(ii) from eq (i)
0.64=(t-1)²/t²
t-1=0.8t
0.2t=1
t=5s

acc was g=10m/s²
so
S=0.5x10x5²=5³=125m
