Detailed Solution

(1) Let ABCD is the top view of compartment.

Question Image

Here, AB = CD = 1.8 m 

and BC=AD=2.4m

AC=(1.8)2+(2.4)2=3m

and tanα=2.41.8=43

 α=53

Let vb is actual velocity of bullet.

vbT=vbvT

or vb=vbT+vT

vbcos37i^+vbsin37j^

=vbTcosαj^+vbTsinαj^+709i^

 45vbi^+35vbj^=35vbTi^+45vbTj^+709i^

45vb=35vbT+709

and 35vb=45vbT

or 34vb=vbT

45vb=35×34vb+709

 45vb920vb=709

or 16920vb=709

 vb=709×207=2009ms1

=2009×185=80kmh1

(3) vbT=34vb=34×80=60kmh1

t=ACVbT=3×10560h

360×60×60s=180s=3min
