Two skaters A and B of masses 50 kg and 70 kg respectively stand facing each other 6 m apart. Then they pull on a rope stretched between them. How far has each moved when they meet –
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
50 (3 + x) = 70 (3 – x)
150 + 50 x = 210 – 70x
120 x = 60
x = 0.5
for A, 
x A = 3 + 0.5
for B, 
x B = 3 – 0.5
