A ladder of length `17m` rests with one end agianst a vertical wall and the other on the ground. If the lower end slips away at the rate of `1ms^(-1)` , then when it is `8m` away from the wall, its upper end is coming down at the rate of: a)`5/8`m/s b)`8/15`m/s c)`(5pi)/8`m/s d)`8/5`m/s

A

`5/8m//sec`

B

`8/15m//sec`

C
