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 thrown vertically upwards. If the air resistance is to be taken into account, then the time during which the body rises is: 

1. Equal to the time of fall.
2. Less than the time of fall.
3. Greater than the time of fall.
4. Twice the time of fall.

A particle moving in a straight line covers half the distance with a speed of \(3~\text{m/s}\). The other half of the distance is covered in two equal time intervals with speeds of \(4.5~\text{m/s}\) and \(7.5~\text{m/s}\) respectively. The average speed of the particle during this motion is:
1. \(4.0~\text{m/s}\)
2. \(5.0~\text{m/s}\)
3. \(5.5~\text{m/s}\)
4. \(4.8~\text{m/s}\)
