A hall has a square floor of dimension \(10\, \mathrm{~m} \times 10\, \mathrm{~m}\) (see the figure) and vertical walls. If the angle \(GPH\) between the diagonals \(\mathrm{AG}\) and \(\mathrm{BH}\) is \(\cos ^{-1} \frac{1}{5}\), then the height of the hall (in \(meters\)) is :

- A \(5\)
- B \(2 \sqrt{10}\)
- C \(5 \sqrt{3}\)
- D \(5 \sqrt{2}\)
