A car is fitted with a convex side-view ...

A car is fitted with a convex side-view mirror of focal length 20 cm. A second car 2.8m behind the first car is overtaking the first car at a relative speed of 15 `m/s`. The speed of the image of the second car as seen in the mrror of the first one is:

A

`5.79cm, 6.9 cm`

B

`6.45 cm, 5.16 cm`

C

`2.7 cm, 4.8 cm`

D

`0.1 m, 0.3m`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

`m=-(v)/(u)=-(600)/(31)xx(1)/(-600)=(1)/(31)`
Breadth of image
`=(1)/(31)xx200cm =6.45 cm`
Height of image `=(1)/(31)xx160cm= 5.16cm`.
