Two trains A and B of length \(400\) m each are moving on two parallel tracks with a uniform speed of \(72\) km/h in the same direction with A ahead of B. The driver of B decides to overtake A and accelerates by \(1\) m/s2. If after \(50\) s, the guard of B just brushes past the driver of A, what was the original distance between them?
1. \(2000\) m
2. \(2250\) m
3. \(1200\) m
4. \(1250\) m
On a two-lane road, car A is travelling at a speed of \(36\) kmh-1. Two cars B and C approach car A in opposite directions with a speed of \(54\) kmh-1 each. At a certain instant, when the distance AB is equal to AC, both being \(1\) km, B decides to overtake A before C does. What minimum acceleration of car B is required to avoid an accident?
1. \(1\) ms-2
2. \(5\) ms-2
3. \(2\) ms-2
4. \(3\) ms-2
