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. 10 s
B. 6 s
C. 4 s
D. 8 s

Correct Answer: Option B


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
AC RMS value defined for equivalent:
A. Voltage
B. Heating effect
C. Charge flow
D. Magnetic field

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
I_rms defined so I_rms²R = average power, same heating as DC current. For sine wave: I_rms = I₀/√2. Memory tip: 'RMS: heating equivalence; use RMS for power calculations'. AC fundamentals frequently tested in competitive exams.

Question #3
Which of the following is a good insulator?
A. Copper
B. Graphite
C. Silver
D. Rubber

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Rubber has no free electrons, high resistivity. Silver best conductor. Copper widely used conductor. Graphite conducts (non-metal). Insulators: glass, plastic, wood.
