A shooting game involves using a gun that fires by itself at random times. The player can only point the gun in a fixed direction while the target moves from side to side with simple harmonic motion, as shown. At which of the given region should the player aim in order to score the greatest number of hits?

During $SHM$ speed will be minimum in $1$ and $5$ region.
Hence probability of greatest number of hit will increase.

    A small block is connected to one end of a massless spring of un-stretched length $4.9 \ m$. The other end of the spring (see the figure) is fixed. The system lies on a horizontal frictionless surface. The block is stretched by $0.2$ $m$ and released from rest at $t =0$. It then executes simple harmonic motion with angular frequency $\omega=\frac{\pi}{3} \ rad / s$.

    Simultaneously at $t=0$, a small pebble is projected with speed $v$ from point $P$ at an angle of $45^{\circ}$ as shown in the figure. Point $P$ is at a horizontal distance of $10 \ cm$ from $O$. If the pebble hits the block at $t=1 \ s$, the value of $v$ is (take $g =10 \ m / s ^2$ )
