A drunkard walking in a narrow lane takes \(5\) steps forward and \(3\) steps backward, followed again by \(5\) steps forward and \(3\) steps backward, and so on.

1. \(37\) s
2. \(31\) s
3. \(29\) s
4. \(33\) s

3. | negative, positive |
4. | negative, negative |
The position-time \((x\text-t)\) graphs for two children \(A\) and \(B\) returning from their school \(O\) to their homes \(P\) and \(Q\) respectively are shown in the graph.

Two trains \(A\) and \(B\) of length \(400~\text m\) each are moving on two parallel tracks with a uniform speed of \(72~\text{km/h}\) in the same direction with \(A\) ahead of \(B.\) The driver of \(B\) decides to overtake \(A\) and accelerates by \(1~\text{m/s}^2.\) If after \(50~\text s,\) the guard of \(B\) just brushes past the driver of \(A,\) what was the original distance between them?
