An express train is moving with a velocity $v_1$. Its driver finds another train moving on the same track in the same direction with velocity $v_2$. To escape a collision,the driver applies a retardation $a$ to the train. The minimum time to escape a collision will be:

  • A
    $t = \frac{v_1 - v_2}{a}$
  • B
    $t = \frac{v_1^2 - v_2^2}{2a}$
  • C
    None
  • D
    Both

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