Two towns $X$ and $Y$ are connected by a regular bus service. $A$ bus leaves in either direction at every $T$ minutes. $A$ man moving with some speed in the direction $X$ to $Y$ finds that a bus goes past him every $t_1$ minutes in the direction of his motion, and every $t_2$ minutes in the opposite direction. Then $T$ is given by

  • A
    $\frac{2 t_1 t_2}{t_1+t_2}$
  • B
    $\frac{\left(t_1-t_2\right) t_1}{t_1+t_2}$
  • C
    $\frac{2 t_2\left(t_1+t_2\right)}{\left|t_1+t_2\right|}$
  • D
    $\frac{t_1 t_2}{\left|t_1-t_2\right|}$

Two boys are standing at points $A$ and $B$ on the ground,where distance $AB = x$. The boy at $B$ starts running perpendicular to $AB$ with velocity $v_1$. The boy at $A$ starts running simultaneously with velocity $v$ and meets the other boy in time $t$. The value of $t$ is:

$A$ swimmer wants to cross a river from point $A$ to point $B$. Line $AB$ makes an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the flow of the river. The magnitude of the velocity of the swimmer is the same as that of the river. The angle $\theta$ with the line $AB$ should be in degrees,so that the swimmer reaches point $B$.

$A$ slider block $A$ moves downward at a speed of $v_A = 2 \ m/s$,at an angle of $75^\circ$ with the horizontal as shown in the figure. The velocity of the portion of belt $B$ between ideal pulleys $C$ and $D$ with respect to $A$ is $v_{CD/A} = 2 \ m/s$ at an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal. The magnitude of the velocity of portion $CD$ of the belt when $\theta = 15^\circ$ is .......... $m/s$.

$A$ boy is running on a plane road with velocity $v$ with a long hollow tube in his hand. The water is falling vertically downwards with velocity $u$. At what angle to the vertical,he must incline the tube so that the water drops enter it without touching its sides?

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 ..... $km \, h^{-1}$.
