Problem

Four friends start together from the same point and stop after 20 s20\,\text{s}. Their motions are as follows: P: walks straight 40 m40\,\text{m} east. Q: walks 25 m25\,\text{m} east, then 15 m15\,\text{m} west. R: runs along a semicircular track of radius 10 m10\,\text{m} to the opposite end. S: completes one full circular lap of radius 10 m10\,\text{m}. Arrange them in descending order of the magnitude of their average velocities. a) S > P > Q > R b) Q > P > R > S c) P > R > Q > S d) P > Q > R > S
