3. | \(\dfrac{2n-1}{2n}\) | 4. | \(\dfrac{2n-1}{2n+1}\) |
Train \(A\) and train \(B\) are running on parallel tracks in the opposite directions with speeds of \(36~\text{km/hour}\) and \(72~\text{km/hour}\), respectively. A person is walking in train \(A\) in the direction opposite to its motion with a speed of \(1.8~\text{km/hour}\). Speed (in ms–1) of this person as observed from train \(B\) will be close to : (take the distance between the tracks as negligible)
1. \(30.5\) ms–1
2. \(29.5\) ms–1
3. \(31.5\) ms–1
4. \(28.5\) ms–1
A scooter accelerates from rest for time \(t_1\) at constant rate \(a_1\) and then retards at constant rate \(a_2\) for time \(t_2\) and comes to rest. The correct value of \(\frac{t_1}{t_2}\) will be:
1. \(\frac{a_1+a_2}{a_2}\)
2. \(\frac{a_2}{a_1}\)
3. \(\frac{a_1}{a_2}\)
4. \(\frac{a_1+a_2}{a_1}\)
