a. A rail road flat car of mass M can roll without friction along a straight horizontal track . Initially, a man of mass m is standing on the car which is moving to the right with speed v_(0) . What is the change in velocity of the car if the man runs to the left so that his speed relative to the car is v_(rel) just before he jumps off at the left end? b. If there are n men each of mass m on the car, should they all run and jump off together or should they run and jump one by one in order to give a greater velocity to the car?

Eight persons - H, I, J, K, L, M, N and O-are standing in a straight line at equidistant. Some of them are facing north while others are facing south. M is standing third to the right to H. M is standing at one of the extreme ends. L is standing third to the left to H. The immediate neighbours of J face north. N is not an immediate neighbour of H. The persons standing at the extreme ends face the same direction (Both are facing either north or South). The immediate neighbours of H face just opposite direction as that of M. The immediate neighbours of O face opposite directions with respect to each other. One of the immediate neighbours of L is K who is facing north. I is standing between J and M. Not more than four persons are facing north. Who among the following is exactly between L and J ?
