  3. C225.5m225 . 5m and 10s10s
  4. D112.5m112 . 5m and 15s15s

Correct answer

A. 112.5m112 . 5m and 22.5s22 . 5s

Step-by-step solution

Distance travelled by car in 15s15s =12×45×15×=6752m= \dfrac{1}{2} \times 45 \times 15 \times = \dfrac{675}{2}m. Distance travelled by scooter in 15s15s=30×15=450= 30 \times 15 = 450. Let car catches scooter in time tt
difference between the distance travelled by car and scooter in 15s15s in⇒450−6752=112.5m\text{⇒}450 - \dfrac{675}{2} = 112.5m
⇒6752+45(t−15)=30t⇒ \dfrac{675}{2} + 45\left(t - 15\right) = 30t
337.5+45t−675=30t⇒15t=337.5337.5 + 45t - 675 = 30t ⇒ 15t = 337.5
⇒t=22.5s⇒ t = 22.5s.
