The driver of a bus moving with a velocity of $72 \ km/h$ observes a boy walking across the road at a distance of $50 \ m$ in front of the bus and decelerates the bus at $5 \ m/s^2$ by applying brakes and is just able to avoid an accident. The reaction time of the driver is (in $s$)

$A$ person wearing a parachute jumps off a plane from a height of $2 \ km$ from the ground and falls freely for $20 \ m$ before his parachute opens. After his parachute opens, if he continues to move uniformly with the velocity attained due to his freefall, the total time taken by the person to reach the ground is (Acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \ m/s^2$) (in $s$)

Two trains '$A$' and '$B$' of length '$l$' and '$4l$' are travelling into a tunnel of length '$L$' on parallel tracks from opposite directions with velocities $108\,km/h$ and $72\,km/h$,respectively. If train '$A$' takes $35\,s$ less time than train '$B$' to cross the tunnel,then the length '$L$' of the tunnel is $...........\,m$. (Given $L = 60l$)
