MHT CET 2025 Physics question
Two boys are standing at points A and B on ground, where distance AB = x. The boy at B starts running perpendicular to AB with velocity . The boy at A starts running simultaneously with velocity v and meets the other boy in time t. The value of t is
Answer: (C)
Solution
Place A at the origin and B at . After time the boy from B (running perpendicular to AB) is at . The boy from A runs in a straight line at speed and meets him there, so the distance he covers is . By Pythagoras: , i.e. $ - =
