On a two - lane road, car A is travelling with a speed of 36 kmph. Two cars B and C approach car A in opposite direction with a speed of 54 kmph each. At a certain instant, when the distance AB is equal to AC both being 1 km, B decides to overtake A before C does. What minimum acceleration of car B is required to avoid an accident ?
