A car is moving with a constant speed of `60 km h^-1` on a straight road. Looking at the rear view mirror, the driver finds that the car following him is at a distance of `100 m` and is approaching with a speed of `5 km h^-1`. In order to keep track of the car in the rear, the driver begins to glane alternatively at the rear and side mirror of his car after every `2 s` till the other car overtakes. If the two cars were maintaining their speeds, which of the following statement (s) is/are correct ?

A

The speed of the car in the rear is 65kmh

B

In the side mirror, the car in the rear would appear to approach with a speed of 5km hr* to the driver of the leading car

C

In the rear view mirror, the speed of the approaching car would appear to decrease as the distance between the cars decreases

D

In the side mirror, the speed of the approaching car would appear to increase as the distance between the cars decreases

Text Solution
