The diagram shows a train moving with constant velocity and a car moving towards the train with constant velocity. The engine driver measures the velocity of the car as `v_(1)` . The passenger sitting in the last compartment measures the velocity of the car as `v_(2)` . Which of the following statements is true?

A

`v_(1)gtv_(2)` if `L_(1)lt L_(2)`

B

`v_(1)lt v_(2)` if `L_(1) lt L_(2)`

C

`v_(1)=v_(2)` if `L_(1)=L_(2)`

D

`v_(1)` is always equal to `v_(2)`
