A bird is tossing (flying to and fro) between two cars moving towards each other on a straight road. One car has speed of 54 kmh ⁻¹ while the other has the speed of 36 kmh ⁻¹ . The bird starts moving from first car towards the other and is moving with the speed of 36 kmh ⁻¹ where the two cars were separated by 36 ~km . The total distance covered by the bird before the cars meet each other is
Options
- A14400 m
- B1440 m
- C244 m
- D24400 m
Correct answer
A. 14400 m
Step-by-step solution
The total time after the two cars which meet = Total distance Relative velocity of car w.r.t each other T= 36 54+36 T= 36 90 =0.4 h In this duration, the distance travel by bird =36 0.4=14.4 ~km =14400 ~m
