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.
