Two trains take 3 sec to pass one another when going in the opposite direction but only 2.5 sec if the speed of the one is increased by . The time one would take to pass the other when going in the same direction at their original speed is:
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
15 sec
Option C (15 sec) is correct because by setting up equations for relative speeds in opposite and same directions, we can solve for the individual speeds and then find the time to pass in the same direction.

Assertion: When a body is subjected to a uniform acceleration, it always move in a straight line.
Reason: Straight line motion is the natural tendency of the body.
Reason: Straight line motion is the natural tendency of the body.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
If assertion is false but reason is true
Option D (If assertion is false but reason is true) is correct because uniform acceleration does not guarantee straight-line motion (e.g., projectile motion), but the tendency of a body to maintain its state is inertia, not necessarily straight-line motion.

STATEMENT-1 : For an observer looking out through the window of a fast moving train, the nearby objects appear to move in the opposite direction to the train, while the distant objects appear to be stationary.
STATEMENT-2 : If the observer and the object are moving at velocities and respectively with reference to a laboratory frame, the velocity of the object with respect to the observer is .
STATEMENT-2 : If the observer and the object are moving at velocities and respectively with reference to a laboratory frame, the velocity of the object with respect to the observer is .

Correct option: B
Statement 1 is True, Statement-2 is True; Statement-2 is NOT a correct explanation for Statement-1
Option B (Statement 1 is True, Statement-2 is True; Statement-2 is NOT a correct explanation for Statement-1) is correct because both statements are true, but the relative velocity formula doesn't directly explain the perceived motion of nearby and distant objects.

Statement-I: When a particle moves with constant velocity its average velocity, its instantaneous velocity and its speed are all equal in magnitude.
Statement-II: If the average velocity of a particle moving on a straight line is zero in a time interval, then it is possible that the instantaneous velocity is never zero in the interval
Statement-II: If the average velocity of a particle moving on a straight line is zero in a time interval, then it is possible that the instantaneous velocity is never zero in the interval
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
Both statements are false
Option D (Both statements are false) is correct because Statement-I is false as speed is always positive, and Statement-II is false because if average velocity is zero, the instantaneous velocity must be zero at some point due to path reversal.
