Two buses $P$ and $Q$ start from a point at the same time and move in a straight line and their positions are represented by $X_{P}(t) = \alpha t + \beta t^{2}$ and $X_{Q}(t) = ft - t^{2}$. At what time,do both the buses have the same velocity?

  • A
    $\frac{\alpha-f}{1+\beta}$
  • B
    $\frac{\alpha+f}{2(\beta-1)}$
  • C
    $\frac{\alpha+f}{2(1+\beta)}$
  • D
    $\frac{f-\alpha}{2(1+\beta)}$

$A$ man in a car at location $Q$ on a straight highway is moving with speed $v$. He decides to reach a point $P$ in a field at a distance $d$ from the highway (point $M$) as shown in the figure. The speed of the car in the field is half of that on the highway. What should be the distance $RM$ so that the time taken to reach $P$ is minimum?

At time $t=0$,a car moving along a straight line has a velocity of $16 \; m/s$. It slows down with an acceleration of $a = -0.5t \; m/s^2$,where $t$ is in seconds. Mark the correct statement$(s)$.
