Two trains A and B of length 400 m each are moving on two parallel tracks with a uniform speed of 72 kmh-1 in the same direction with A head of B. The driver of B overtakes A and speeds up by 1 ms-2. If after 50 s, the guard of B just brushes past the driver A, what was the original distance between them?

On a two-lane road, a car A is travelling with a speed of 36 kmh-1. Two cars B and C approach car A in opposite directions with a speed of 54 kmh-1each. At a certain instant, when the distance AB is equal to AC, both being 1 km B overtakes A before C does. What minimum acceleration of car B is required to avoid an accident.
