The driver of a bus travelling with a speed 'v' suddenly observes a wall in front of his bus at a distance 'a'. Father of this driver, who was also a driver, had advised him to take circular turn to avoid hitting in such a situation. However, the driver in question decides otherwise by using his own wisdom. He applies brakes as hard as possible without taking a circular turn, then :
