Kinematics Question 320
Question: Two cars are moving in the same direction with the same speed 30 km/hr. They are separated by a distance of 5 km, the speed of a car moving in the opposite direction if it meets these two cars at an interval of 4 minutes, will be
Options:
A) 40 km/hr
B) 45 km/hr
C) 30 km/hr
D) 15 km/hr
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
The two car (say A and B) are moving with same velocity, the relative velocity of one (say B) with respect to the other
So the relative separation between them (= 5 km) always remains the same.
Now if the velocity of car (say C) moving in opposite direction to A and B, it’s
So
So, the time taken by it to cross the cars A and B
