(A) Let the car turn off the highway at a distance $x$ from point $M$. So,$RM = x$.Let the speed of the car on the highway be $v_h = v$ and the speed in the field be $v_f = v/2$.The distance $QM$ is constant. Let $QM = L$. The distance covered on the highway is $QM - x = L - x$.The time taken to travel on the highway is $t_1 = \frac{L - x}{v}$.The distance $RP$ in the field is $\sqrt{d^2 + x^2}$.The time taken to travel in the field is $t_2 = \frac{\sqrt{d^2 + x^2}}{v/2} = \frac{2\sqrt{d^2 + x^2}}{v}$.Total time $t = t_1 + t_2 = \frac{L - x}{v} + \frac{2\sqrt{d^2 + x^2}}{v}$.For minimum time,$\frac{dt}{dx} = 0$.$\frac{d}{dx} \left( \frac{L - x}{v} + \frac{2\sqrt{d^2 + x^2}}{v} \right) = 0$.$\frac{1}{v} \left( -1 + 2 \cdot \frac{1}{2\sqrt{d^2 + x^2}} \cdot 2x \right) = 0$.$-1 + \frac{2x}{\sqrt{d^2 + x^2}} = 0 \implies \frac{2x}{\sqrt{d^2 + x^2}} = 1$.$4x^2 = d^2 + x^2 \implies 3x^2 = d^2 \implies x = \frac{d}{\sqrt{3}}$.

$A$ particle moving in a straight line covers half the distance with speed $6 \, m/s$. The other half is covered in two equal time intervals with speeds $9 \, m/s$ and $15 \, m/s$ respectively. The average speed of the particle during the motion is: (in $ \, m/s$)

$A$ parachutist drops freely from an aeroplane for $10\,s$ before the parachute opens. Then he descends with a net retardation of $2.5\,m/s^2$. If he bails out of the plane at a height of $2495\,m$ and $g = 10\,m/s^2$,his velocity on reaching the ground will be .......$m/s$.
