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

A body is projected up with a speed \(u\) and the time taken by it is \(T\) to reach the maximum height \(H\). Pick out the correct statement.
1. It reaches \(\frac{H}{2}\) in \(\frac{T}{2}\) sec
2. It acquires velocity \(\frac{u}{2}\) in \(\frac{T}{2}\)
3. Its velocity is \(\frac{u}{2}\) at \(\frac{H}{2}\)
4. Same velocity at \(2T\)
