Two cars \(P\) and \(Q\) are moving on a road in the same direction. Acceleration of car \(P\) increases linearly with time whereas car \(Q\) moves with a constant acceleration. Both cars cross each other at time \(t=0\), for the first time. The maximum possible number of crossing(s) (including the crossing at \(t=0)\) is ________.

  1. A 4
  2. B 5
  3. C 3
  4. D 2

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 3

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{a}_{\mathrm{p}}=\mathrm{kt}, \mathrm{k}\) is constant \(\mathrm{a}_{\mathrm{Q}}=\mathrm{a}, \mathrm{a}\) is constant \(\mathrm{a}_{\mathrm{QP}}=\mathrm{a}_{\mathrm{Q}}-\mathrm{a}_{\mathrm{p}}=\mathrm{a}-\mathrm{kt}\) as initial velocities are not mentioned in question,…
