  • question_answer
    A police party is chasing a dacoit in a jeep which is moving at a constant speed v. The dacoit is on a motorcycle. When he is at a distance x from the jeep, he accelerates from rest at a constant rate. Which of the following relations is true if the police is able to catch the dacoit?

    A) \[{{v}^{2}}\le \alpha x\]          

    B) \[{{v}^{2}}\le 2\alpha x\]

    C) \[{{v}^{2}}\ge 2\alpha x\]        

    D) \[{{v}^{2}}\ge \alpha x\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] If police is able to catch the dacoit after time t, then \[Vt=x+\frac{1}{2}a{{t}^{2}}\]. This gives \[\frac{a}{2}{{t}^{2}}-vt+x=0\] Or \[t=\frac{v\pm \sqrt{{{v}^{2}}-2\alpha x}}{\alpha }\] For t to be real, \[{{v}^{2}}\ge 2ax\]
