JEE Main & Advanced Physics Motion in a Straight Line / सरल रेखा में गति Question Bank Self Evaluation Test - Motion in a Strainght Line

  • question_answer
    Three elephants A, B and C are moving along a straight line with constant speed in same direction as shown in figure. Speed of A is \[5\text{ }m/s\] and speed of C is 10 m/s. Initially separation between A and B is 'd' and between B and C is also. When 'B' catches 'C' separation between A and C becomes 3d. Then the speed of B will be

    A) \[7.5\text{ }m/s\]

    B) \[15\text{ }m/s\]

    C) \[\text{20 }m/s\]            

    D) \[\text{5 }m/s\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    B catches C in time t then \[\text{t=}\frac{d}{u-10}\]. Separation by this time has increased by 'd' between A and C hence \[\left( 10-5 \right)\times \frac{d}{\left( u-10 \right)}=d,\text{ }u=15m/s\]
