The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to understand the concept of relative velocity when two bodies are moving towards each other. Here's a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Understand the Problem We have two bodies, A and B, moving towards each other. The distance between them decreases by 120 meters every minute. ### Step 2: Convert Time to Seconds Since the distance is given per minute, we can convert this time into seconds for easier calculations: - 1 minute = 60 seconds. ### Step 3: Calculate the Relative Velocity The decrease in distance of 120 meters in 60 seconds indicates the relative velocity of the two bodies combined. The formula for relative velocity when two objects are moving towards each other is: \[ V_{A} + V_{B} = \frac{\text{Distance Decreased}}{\text{Time}} \] Substituting the values we have: \[ V_{A} + V_{B} = \frac{120 \text{ m}}{60 \text{ s}} \] ### Step 4: Perform the Calculation Now, we can calculate the combined speed: \[ V_{A} + V_{B} = 2 \text{ m/s} \] ### Step 5: Analyze the Options We need to find the individual speeds of A and B. However, we only know their sum. The problem does not provide enough information to determine the individual speeds of A and B separately. ### Step 6: Check the Options We can check the options provided to see which pairs of speeds add up to 2 m/s: 1. 2.5 m/s (not valid) 2. 1.75 m/s and 0.25 m/s (valid, as 1.75 + 0.25 = 2) 3. 3 m/s (not valid) 4. 2.5 m/s and 0.5 m/s (not valid) ### Conclusion The only valid option that satisfies the condition \( V_{A} + V_{B} = 2 \text{ m/s} \) is: - **1.75 m/s and 0.25 m/s.** Thus, the speeds of the bodies are **1.75 m/s** and **0.25 m/s**. ---
