Two particles start simultaneously from the same point and move along two straight lines,one with uniform velocity $v$ and the other with a uniform acceleration $a$. If $\alpha$ is the angle between the lines of motion of the two particles,then the time at which the relative velocity is minimum is given by:

  • A
    $(v/a) \sin \alpha$
  • B
    $(v/a) \cos \alpha$
  • C
    $(v/a) \tan \alpha$
  • D
    $(v/a) \cot \alpha$

Two stones are thrown up simultaneously with initial speeds of $u_1$ and $u_2$ $(u_2 > u_1)$. They hit the ground after $6 \, s$ and $10 \, s$ respectively. Which graph in the figure correctly represents the time variation of $\Delta x = (x_2 - x_1)$,the relative position of the second stone with respect to the first up to $t = 10 \, s$? Assume that the stones do not rebound after hitting the ground.
