Question #1
Two bodies A and B start from the same point with velocities 10 m/s and 15 m/s respectively in the same direction. If B starts 2 seconds after A, the time after which B catches A is:
A. 6 s
B. 8 s
C. 10 s
D. 4 s

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
When B starts, A has already traveled 10 m/s × 2 s = 20 m. Relative velocity of B w.r.t A = 15 - 10 = 5 m/s. Time to cover 20 m gap at 5 m/s relative speed = 20/5 = 4 s after B starts. Since B started 2 s late, total time from A's start = 2 + 4 = 6 s. Alternatively, equate distances: 10t = 15(t-2) ⇒ 10t = 15t - 30 ⇒ t = 6 s. This relative motion approach simplifies pursuit problems. Memory tip: In same-direction motion, use relative velocity = |v₁ - v₂|. Frequently tested in kinematics sections of competitive exams.

Question #2
The device which converts AC to DC is called
A. Rectifier
B. Transformer
C. Inverter
D. Oscillator

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Rectifier (diode bridge) converts AC to DC. Inverter DC to AC. Transformer changes AC voltage level. Oscillator generates AC signal. Electronic devices often need DC.
