For a train engine moving with a speed of $20 \; m/s$,the driver must apply brakes at a distance of $500 \; m$ before the station for the train to come to rest at the station. If the brakes were applied at half of this distance,the train engine would cross the station with a speed of $\sqrt{x} \; m/s$. The value of $x$ is $..............$ (Assuming the same retardation is produced by the brakes).

  • A
    $100$
  • B
    $101$
  • C
    $520$
  • D
    $200$

$A$ car starts at time $t=0$ from an initial speed of $10 \,m/s$ and accelerates uniformly with $2 \,m/s^2$ on a straight road for time $0 \leq t \leq 10 \,s$. Let $S_1$ and $S_2$ be the distance covered by the car in time $3 \leq t \leq 4 \,s$ and $4 \leq t \leq 5 \,s$ respectively. The ratio $\frac{S_2}{S_1}$ is
