Two towns $A$ and $B$ are connected by a regular bus service with a bus leaving in either direction every $T$ minutes. $A$ man cycling with a speed of $20 \; km/h$ in the direction $A$ to $B$ notices that a bus goes past him every $18 \; min$ in the direction of his motion,and every $6 \; min$ in the opposite direction. What is the period $T$ (in $min$) of the bus service and with what speed (assumed constant) do the buses ply on the road?

  • A
    $5 \; min$ and $60 \; km/h$
  • B
    $7 \; min$ and $40 \; km/h$
  • C
    $9 \; min$ and $40 \; km/h$
  • D
    $9 \; min$ and $60 \; km/h$

Preeti reached the metro station and found that the escalator was not working. She walked up the stationary escalator in time $t_1$. On other days,if she remains stationary on the moving escalator,then the escalator takes her up in time $t_2$. The time taken by her to walk up on the moving escalator will be

$A$ boat is moving with a velocity of $3\hat i + 4\hat j$ in a river,and the water is moving with a velocity of $-3\hat i - 4\hat j$ with respect to the ground. The relative velocity of the boat with respect to the water is:

$A$ boy runs on a horizontal road with a speed of $4 \ m \ s^{-1}$ while it is raining. He sees that the rain is making an angle $\theta$ with the vertical while running from west to east. However, when he runs from east to west, the angle is $\alpha$. The rain is pouring down at an angle $45^{\circ}$ with the vertical and at a speed of $8 \ m \ s^{-1}$ as shown in the figure. The ratio $\frac{\tan \theta}{\tan \alpha}$ is,
