MHT CET 2026 Physics question
Two boys are standing at points A and B on ground where distance AB = a. The boy at point B starts running perpendicular to line AB with velocity 'V'. The boy at point A starts running simultaneously with velocity 'V' and catches the other boy in time 't'. The value of 't' is
Answer: (A)
Solution
In time the boy from B runs a distance perpendicular to AB, so he is at the end of the leg of a right triangle whose other leg is . The boy from A runs along the hypotenuse, covering a distance to catch him. By Pythagoras, , so and $t =
