Question
A student is standing at a distance of
from the bus. As soon as the bus begins its motion with an acceleration of
, the student starts running towards the bus with a uniform velocity
. Assuming the motion to be along a straight road, the minimum value of
, so that the student is able to catch the bus is
The correct answer is: 
Let student catch the bus after
sec. So it will cover distance 
Similarly distance travelled by the bus will be
for the given condition


To find the minimum value of 
, so we get
, then
