A strip of wood of length l is placed on a smooth horizontal surface. An insect starts from one end of the strip, walks with constant velocity and reaches the other end in time `t_(1)`. It then flies off vertically. The strip moves a further distance l in time `t_(2)`.

A

`t_(2) = t_(1)`

B

`t_(2) lt t_(1)`

C

`t_(2) gt t_(1)`

D

Either (b) or (c) depending on the masses of the insect and the strip
