The position-time graphs for two students \(A\) and \(B\) returning from the school to their homes are shown in figure \((A)\) \(A\) lives closer to the school \((B)\) \(B\) lives closer to the school \((C)\) \(A\) takes lesser time to reach home \((D)\) \(A\) travels faster than \(B\) \((E)\) \(B\) travels faster than \(A\) Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

- A \((A)\) and \((E)\) only
- B \((B)\) and \((E)\) only
- C \((A), (C)\) and \((E)\) only
- D \((A), (C)\) and \((D)\) only
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \((A)\) and \((E)\) only
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
As slope of \(B\) > Slope of \(A\) \(\therefore V_B > V_A\) Also, \(t _{ B } < t _{ A }\)

- Given below are two statements. One is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A) :
Three identical spheres of same mass undergo one dimensional motion as shown in figure with initial velocities \(v_{\mathrm{A}}=5 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}, v_{\mathrm{B}}=2 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}, v_{\mathrm{C}}=4 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\). If we wait sufficiently long for elastic collision to happen, then \(v_{\mathrm{A}}=4 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}, v_{\mathrm{B}}=2 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\), \(v_{\mathrm{C}}=5 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\) will be the final velocities.
Reason (R): In an elastic collision between identical masses, two objects exchange their velocities.
