A police car B is chasing a culprit’s car A. Car A and B are moving at constant speed V_(1) = 108 km//hr and V_(2) = 90 km//hr respectively along a straight line. The police decides to open fire and a policeman starts firing with his machine gun directly aiming at car A. The bullets have a velocity u = 305 m//s relative to the gun. The policeman keeps firing for an interval of T_(0) = 20 s . The Culprit experiences that the time gap between the first and the last bullet hitting his car is Deltat . Find Deltat .

A particle is fired from A in the diagonal plane of a building of dimension 20m (length) xx 15m (breadth) xx 12.5 m (height), just clears the roof diagonally & falls on the other side of the building at B .It is observed that the particle is travelling at an angle 45^(@) with the horizontal when it clears the edges P and Q of the diagonal. Take g=10m//s^(2) . The speed of the particle at point P will be:
