The graph given shows the positions of two cars, `A and B`, as a function of time. The cars move along the x-axis on parallel but separate tracks, so that they can pass each other's position without colliding. At which instant in time is car-A overtaking the car-B ?

A

`t_1`

B

`t_2`

C

`t_3`

D

`t_4`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
at `t = t_1`, positions of both cars is same and after this `x_A gt x_B` So `A` overtakes `B` at `t = t_1`.
