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

An express train is moving with a velocity \(v_1\). Its driver finds another train is moving on the same track in the same direction with velocity \(v_2\). To escape collision, driver applies a retardation \(a\) on the train. The minimum time of escaping collision will be:

1. \(t = \dfrac{v_1 - v_2}{a}\)

2. \(t_1 = \dfrac{v_1^2 - v_2^2}{2}\)

3. Both

4. None of the above
