Two cars A and B are 5 m long each. Car A is at any instant just behind B. A and B are moving at 54 km/h and 36 km/h. Find the road distance covered by the car A to overtake B.
A
35 m
B
30 m
C
32.5 m
D
27.5 M
Answer
35 m
Explanation
Solution

vAB = 15 – 10 = 5 ms-1
xAB = 10 m; t = xAB/vAB = 2s.
Road distance covered = vAs t + length of car A
= 15 × 2 + 5 = 35 m.
