Two cars $A$ and $B$ are travelling in the same direction with velocities $v_1$ and $v_2$ $(v_1 > v_2)$. When car $A$ is at a distance $d$ ahead of car $B$,the driver of car $A$ applies the brake,producing a uniform retardation $a$. There will be no collision when:

  • A
    $d < \frac{(v_1 - v_2)^2}{2a}$
  • B
    $d < \frac{v_1^2 - v_2^2}{2a}$
  • C
    $d > \frac{(v_1 - v_2)^2}{2a}$
  • D
    $d > \frac{v_1^2 - v_2^2}{2a}$

An express train is moving with a velocity $v_1$. Its driver finds another train moving on the same track in the same direction with velocity $v_2$. To escape a collision,the driver applies a retardation $a$ to the train. The minimum time to escape a collision will be:
