Two parallel rail tracks run north-south. Train $A$ moves north with a speed of $54\; km\; h^{-1},$ and train $B$ moves south with a speed of $90\; km\; h^{-1}.$ What is the velocity (in $m\; s^{-1}$) of a monkey running on the roof of the train $A$ against its motion (with a velocity of $18\; km\; h^{-1}$ with respect to the train $A$) as observed by a man standing on the ground?

  • A

  • B
    $10$
  • C

Two persons $A$ and $B$ are located in the $X-Y$ plane at the points $(0,0)$ and $(0,10)$ respectively. (The distances are measured in $MKS$ units). At time $t=0$,they start moving simultaneously with velocities $\overrightarrow{v}_A = 2\hat{j} \text{ m/s}$ and $\overrightarrow{v}_B = 2\hat{i} \text{ m/s}$ respectively. The time after which $A$ and $B$ are at their closest distance is:
