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
The speed-time graph of a particle moving along a fixed direction is shown in the figure. Then the distance traversed by the particle between \(t=0\) s to \(10\) s is:

2. \(60\) m
3. \(50\) m
4. \(40\) m
The velocity-time graph of a particle in one-dimensional motion is shown in the figure. Which of the following formulae is correct for describing the motion of the particle over the time interval \(t_1\) to \(t_2?\)
1. | \(x\left(t_2\right)=x\left(t_1\right)+v\left(t_1\right)\left(t_2-t_1\right)+\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) a\left(t_2-t_1\right)^2\) |
2. | \({v}\left({t}_2\right)={v}\left({t}_1\right)+{a}\left({t}_2-{t}_1\right)\) |

4. | \({v}_{\text {average }}=\left[{x}\left({t}_2\right)-{x}\left({t}_1\right)\right] /\left({t}_2-{t}_1\right)\) |
The figure gives the x-t plot of a particle executing a one-dimensional simple harmonic motion. Then the signs of position & velocity variables of the particle at t = -1.2 sec respectively are:
\(\left(1\right) positive , negative\)
\(\left(2\right) positive , positive\)
\(\left(3\right) negative , positive\)
\(\left(4\right) negative , negative\)

2. | \(B\) overtakes \(A\) on the road twice. |
3. | \(B\) walks faster than \(A.\) |
4. | \(A\) lives closer to the school than \(B.\) |

1. \(1000~\text{km/h}\)
2. \(500~\text{km/h}\)
3. \(1500~\text{km/h}\)
4. \(2000~\text{km/h}\)
A car moving along a straight highway with a speed of \(126\) km/h is brought to a stop within a distance of \(200\) m. How long does it take for the car to stop?
1. \(10.2\) s
2. \(9.6\) s
3. \(11.4\) s
4. \(6.7\) s
Two trains \(A\) and \(B\) of length \(400~\text m\) each are moving on two parallel tracks with a uniform speed of \(72~\text{km/h}\) in the same direction with \(A\) ahead of \(B.\) The driver of \(B\) decides to overtake \(A\) and accelerates by \(1~\text{m/s}^2.\) If after \(50~\text s,\) the guard of \(B\) just brushes past the driver of \(A,\) what was the original distance between them?
1. \(2000~\text m\)
2. \(2250~\text m\)
3. \(1200~\text m\)
4. \(1250~\text m\)

2. \(5\) ms–2
3. \(2\) ms–2
4. \(3\) ms–2
