On a two-lane road,car $A$ is travelling with a speed of $36 \; km/h$. Two cars $B$ and $C$ approach car $A$ in opposite directions with a speed of $54 \; km/h$ each. At a certain instant,when the distance $AB = AC = 1 \; km$,car $B$ decides to overtake car $A$ before car $C$ does. What minimum acceleration (in $m/s^2$) of car $B$ is required to avoid an accident?

Ship $A$ is moving westwards with a speed of $20 \ km h^{-1}$ and another ship $B$ which is at $200 \ km$ south of $A$ is moving northwards with a speed of $10 \ km h^{-1}$. The time after which the distance between them is shortest and the shortest distance between them are respectively

$A$ police jeep is chasing a thief's jeep. The police jeep is moving with a velocity of $45 \, km/h$ and the thief's jeep is moving with a velocity of $153 \, km/h$. The police fire a bullet with a muzzle velocity of $180 \, m/s$. What is the velocity with which the bullet strikes the thief's car in $m/s$?

Two cities $X$ and $Y$ are connected by a regular bus service with a bus leaving in either direction every $T$ min. $A$ girl is driving a scooty with a speed of $60 \ km/h$ in the direction $X$ to $Y$ and notices that a bus goes past her every $30$ minutes in the direction of her motion,and every $10$ minutes in the opposite direction. Choose the correct option for the period $T$ of the bus service and the speed (assumed constant) of the buses.

$A$ person walks up a stalled escalator in $90 \ s$. When standing on the same moving escalator,he reaches the top in $60 \ s$. The time it would take him to walk up the moving escalator will be: (in $s$)

Two trains,each $50 \, m$ long,are travelling in opposite directions with velocities $10 \, m/s$ and $15 \, m/s$. The time taken for them to cross each other is:
