Two bullets are fired horizontally and simultaneously towards each other from roof tops of two buildings apart and of same height of with the same velocity of . When and where will the two bullets collides. 


Options
- AAfter at a height
- BAfter at a height of
- CAfter at a height of
- DThey will not collide
Correct answer
A. After at a height
Step-by-step solution
Given, distance between the two buildings
height of each tower,
speed of each bullet,
The situation can be shown as below

where, be the vertical distance travelled from the top of the building and t be the time at which they collide. As two bullets are fired toward each other, So, their relative velocity will be 25-(-25)=50 Then, time The distance or height at which they collide is calculated from equation of motion, \mathrm{x}=\mathrm{ut}+\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{at}^2 The bullet is initially a rest i.e. it is moving under the effect of gravity , so The negative sign shows that the bullets will collide below the top of tower i.e. at a height of from the ground after .
