Two persons start from the junction of two perpendicular roads with velocities 3 m / s e c and 4 m / s e c . The rate at which the two persons separate is
Options
- A5 m / s e c
- B25 m / s e c
- C4 m / s e c
- D3 m / s e c
Correct answer
A. 5 m / s e c
Step-by-step solution
Let, at time t , the distance between the two persons be x   m ⇒ x = 3 t 2 + 4 t 2 ⇒ x = 5 t ⇒ d x d t = 5     m / s e c
