20510.	Read the following paragraph and answer the questions that follow :One of the greatest advances in modern technology has been the invention of computers. They are widely used in industries and universities. There is hardly any sphere of human life where computers have not been pressed into the services of man. We are fast heading towards the day when the computer will be as much a part of man’s daily life as a telephone or a calculator is. Computers are capable of performing extremely complicated work in all branches of learning. They can solve the most complex mathematical problems or put thousands of unrelated facts in order. These machines can be put to varied use. For instance, they can provide information on the best way to prevent traffic jams. This whole process, by which machines can be used to work for us, has been called 'automation'. In the future, automation may enable human beings to enjoy more leisure than they do today. The advent of automation definitely has important social consequences.Some years ago, an expert on automation, Sir Leon Bagrit, pointed out that it was a mistake to believe that these machines could think. There is no possibility that human beings will be controlled by machines. Though computers are capable of learning from their mistakes and improving on their performance, they need detailed instructions from human beings to operate. They can never, as it were, lead independent lives or rule the world, by making decisions of their own.Sir Leon said that in the future such computers would be developed which would be small enough to carry in the pocket. Ordinary people would then be able to use them to obtain valuable information. Computers could be plugged into a national network and be used like radios.

A car is chasing a bike 250 meter ahead going in the same direction in 50 seconds. Find the speed of the bike if the speed of the car is 30 m/s?1. 25 m/s2. 20 m/s3. 30 m/s4. 35 m/s

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 25 m/s

Given:

The speed of the car is 30 m/s and the car is chasing a bike 250 meter ahead of the car in 50 seconds

Formula/Concept used:

Speed = Distance/time

Concept of relative speed

Calculation:

Let the speed of bike be x km/hr

Relative speed = (30 – x) m/s

Now, Time = Total distance/Relative speed

50 = 250/(30 – x)

⇒ x = 25 m/s

∴ The speed of the bike is 25 m/s
