Preeti reached the metro station and found that the escalator was not working. She walked up the stationary escalator in time $t_1$. On other days,if she remains stationary on the moving escalator,then the escalator takes her up in time $t_2$. The time taken by her to walk up on the moving escalator will be

  • A
    $\frac{t_1 t_2}{t_2 - t_1}$
  • B
    $\frac{t_1 t_2}{t_1 + t_2}$
  • C
    $t_1 - t_2$
  • D
    $\frac{t_1 + t_2}{2}$
