Two towns $X$ and $Y$ are connected by a regular bus service. $A$ bus leaves in either direction at every $T$ minutes. $A$ man moving with some speed in the direction $X$ to $Y$ finds that a bus goes past him every $t_1$ minutes in the direction of his motion, and every $t_2$ minutes in the opposite direction. Then $T$ is given by

  • A
    $\frac{2 t_1 t_2}{t_1+t_2}$
  • B
    $\frac{\left(t_1-t_2\right) t_1}{t_1+t_2}$
  • C
    $\frac{2 t_2\left(t_1+t_2\right)}{\left|t_1+t_2\right|}$
  • D
    $\frac{t_1 t_2}{\left|t_1-t_2\right|}$

Explain this common observation clearly: If you look out of the window of a fast-moving train,the nearby trees,houses,etc.,seem to move rapidly in a direction opposite to the train's motion,but the distant objects (hilltops,the Moon,the stars,etc.) seem to be stationary. (In fact,since you are aware that you are moving,these distant objects seem to move with you).

Out of the two cars $A$ and $B$,car $A$ is moving towards the east with a velocity of $10 \, m/s$,whereas car $B$ is moving towards the north with a velocity of $20 \, m/s$. The velocity of $A$ with respect to $B$ is ......... $m/s$ (nearly).
