A drunkard walking in a narrow lane takes \(5\) steps forward and \(3\) steps backward, followed again by \(5\) steps forward and \(3\) steps backward, and so on. Each step is \(1\) m long and requires \(1\) s. There is a pit on the road \(13\) m away from the starting point. The drunkard will fall into the pit after:
1. \(37\) s
2. \(31\) s
3. \(29\) s
4. \(33\) s

A car moves from \(X\) to \(Y\) with a uniform speed \(v_u\) and returns to \(X\) with a uniform speed \(v_d.\) The average speed for this round trip is:

1. \(\dfrac{2 v_{d} v_{u}}{v_{d} + v_{u}}\) 2. \(\sqrt{v_{u} v_{d}}\)
3. \(\dfrac{v_{d} v_{u}}{v_{d} + v_{u}}\) 4. \(\dfrac{v_{u} + v_{d}}{2}\)

A particle moving in a straight line covers half the distance with a speed of \(3~\text{m/s}\). The other half of the distance is covered in two equal time intervals with speeds of \(4.5~\text{m/s}\) and \(7.5~\text{m/s}\) respectively. The average speed of the particle during this motion is:

1. \(4.0~\text{m/s}\) 2. \(5.0~\text{m/s}\)
3. \(5.5~\text{m/s}\) 4. \(4.8~\text{m/s}\)
