Question of The Day29-03-2021

Two arrows are shot at a gap of 10 seconds. The Speed of each arrow is 50 m/s. A bullet fired after 10 seconds from the opposite direction crosses both the arrows in 4 seconds. What is the Speed of the bullet?

Answer

Correct Answer : c ) 75 m/sec

Explanation :

According to question:

Speed of arrows = 50 m/s

Both the arrows were shot at an interval of 10 seconds

We know that,Speed=\(Distance \over Time\)

⇒ Distance between both the arrows after 10 sec = 50 × 10 = 500 m

As bullet crosses both the arrows in 4 seconds

⇒Relative Speed of bullet and arrow=\(500 \over 4\)=125 m/sec

⇒ Thus, Speed of bullet =125-50=75 m/sec

Hence, (c) is the correct answer.
