EASY
A body moves along the sides of an equilateral triangle of side 20 cm and comes back to the intial point after one round. Then the distance and displacement of the body respectively are
HARD

Three balls, A, B and C are released and all reach the point X (shown in the figure). Balls A and B are released from two identical structures, one kept on the ground and the other at height h from the ground as shown in the figure. They take time tA and tB respectively to reach X (time starts after they leave the end of the horizontal portion of the structure). The ball C is released from a point at height h vertically above X and reaches X in time tC. Choose the correct statement.

Two skaters, P and Q are skating towards each other. Skater, P throws a ball towards, Q every 5 s such that it always leaves her hand with speed 2 m s-1 with respect to the ground. Consider two cases: (I) P runs with speed 1 m s-1 towards Q, while Q remains stationary. (II) Q runs with speed 1 m s-1 towards P, while P remains stationary. Note That irrespective of speed of P, ball always leaves P s hand with speed 2 m s-1 with respect to the ground. Ignore gravity. Balls will be received by Q.
