$A$ man is at a distance $d$ behind a bus. The bus starts from rest and moves away from the man with a constant acceleration $a$. At the same time,the man starts running towards the bus with a constant velocity $v$. Which of the following statements are correct?

  • A
    The man catches the bus if $v \geq \sqrt{2ad}$.
  • B
    If the man just catches the bus,the time taken will be $t = \frac{v}{a}$.
  • C
    Both $(a)$ and $(b)$ are correct.
  • D
    The man will catch the bus if $v \geq \sqrt{ad}$.

Two trains $A$ and $B$ of length $400 \; m$ each are moving on two parallel tracks with a uniform speed of $72 \; km \; h^{-1}$ in the same direction,with $A$ ahead of $B$. The driver of $B$ decides to overtake $A$ and accelerates by $1 \; m \; s^{-2}$. If after $50 \; s$,the guard of $B$ just brushes past the driver of $A$,what was the original distance (in $m$) between them?
