Options:
A) $ 30\ \sec onds $
B) $ 60\ \sec onds $
C) $ 90\ \sec onds $
D) $ 50\ \sec onds $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
$ \frac{80-60}{1}=K( \frac{80+60}{2}-30 ) $
Therefore $ K=\frac{1}{2} $ Again $ \frac{60-50}{t}=\frac{1}{2}( \frac{60+50}{2}-30 ) $
Therefore $ t=0.8\times 60=48 $ sec.
