Two towns $A$ and $B$ are connected by a regular bus service with a bus leaving in either direction every $T$ minutes. A man cycling with a speed of $20 \mathrm{~km} \mathrm{~h}^{-1}$ in the direction $A$ to $B$ notices that a bus goes past him every $18 \mathrm{~min}$ in the direction of his motion, and every $6 \mathrm{~min}$ in the opposite direction. The period $T$ of the bus service is (a) $4.5 \mathrm{~min}$ (b) $9 \mathrm{~min}$ (c) $12 \mathrm{~min}$ (d) 24 min
A passenger on a bus walks towards the front of the bus at 3.0 km/h relative to the bus, while the bus travels south at 15 km/h. The passenger's velocity relative to the road is: (a) 18 km/h[N] (b) 18 km/h[S] (c) 12 km/h[N] (d) 12 km/h[S]
