An express train is moving with a velocity `v_1`. Its driver finds another train is movig on the same track in the same direction with velocity `v_2`. To escape collision, driver applies a retardation a on the train. The minimum time of escaping collision be

A

`t=(v_(1)-v_(2))/a`

B

`t=(v_(1)^(2)-v_(2)^(2))/2`

C

None

D

Both

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

`v_(1//2)=(v_(1)-v_(2))`
`0=v_(1//2)-atimplies (v_(1)-v_(2))/a`
