A car, starting from rest, accelerates at the rate \(f\) through a distance \(S\), then continues at a constant speed for time \(t\) and then decelerates at the rate \(\frac f2\) to come to rest. If the total distance traversed is \(15\ \text{S}\), then:

1. \(S = \frac{1}{2}ft^2\)
2. \(S = \frac{1}{4}ft^2\)
3. \(S = \frac{1}{72}ft^2\)
4. \(S = \frac{1}{6}ft^2\)

The distance between two particles is decreasing at the rate of \(6\) m/sec when they are moving in the opposite directions. If these particles travel with the same initial speeds and in the same direction, then the separation increases at the rate of \(4\) m/sec. It can be concluded that particles' speeds could be:
1. \(5\) m/sec, \(1\) m/sec
2. \(4\) m/sec, \(1\) m/sec
3. \(4\) m/sec, \(2\) m/sec
4. \(5\) m/sec, \(2\) m/sec
