A batsman takes the first run by moving from \(A\) to \(B\) and then goes for the second run. When he reaches \(20~\text{yards}\) from \(B\) to \(D\) (see figure), he was run out. The net displacement of the batsman is:

1. \(2\) yards
2. \(20\) yards
3. \(22\) yards
4. \(42\) yards

Assertion: The displacement of a moving body may be zero, though its distance can be finite.
Reason: If the body moves such that it finally arrives at the initial point, then the displacement is zero while the distance is finite.

1.  Both Assertion & Reason are true and the Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion.
2.  Both Assertion & Reason are true but the Reason is not the correct explanation of the Assertion.
3.  Assertion is a true statement but Reason is false.
4.  Both Assertion and Reason are false statements.

  1. If both the assertion and the reason are true and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion
  2. If both the assertion and reason are true but the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion
  3. If the assertion is true but the reason is false
  4. If both the assertion and reason are false

An automobile moving at a speed of \(40~\text{km/hr} \) can be brought to rest by applying brakes over a distance of \(40 ~\text{m}.\) If the automobile were instead moving at \(80~\text{km/h},\) what would be its minimum stopping distance (assuming the braking force remains the same and no skidding occurs)?
1. \(150~\text{m}\)
2. \(100~\text{m}\)
3. \(75~\text{m}\)
4. \(160~\text{m}\)
