On a long horizontally moving belt,a child runs to and fro with a speed $9 \, km \, h^{-1}$ (with respect to the belt) between his father and mother located $50 \, m$ apart on the moving belt. The belt moves with a speed of $4 \, km \, h^{-1}$. For an observer on a stationary platform,the speed of the child running in the direction of motion of the belt is ..... $km \, h^{-1}$.

Train $A$ and train $B$ are running on parallel tracks in opposite directions with speeds of $36 \, km/h$ and $72 \, km/h$,respectively. $A$ person is walking in train $A$ in the direction opposite to its motion with a speed of $1.8 \, km/h$. The speed (in $m/s$) of this person as observed from train $B$ will be close to:

Two towns $A$ and $B$ are connected by a regular bus service with a bus leaving in either direction every $T$ min. $A$ man cycling with a speed of $20 \,km/h$ from $A$ to $B$ notices that a bus travelling in the direction of his motion goes past him every $18 \,min$ and every $6 \,min$ he notices a bus travelling in the opposite direction go past him. Assuming that the buses travel with a constant speed,find $T$ and the constant speed of the buses.
