A car is moving at a constant speed of `60kmh^-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 kmh^-1`. In order to keep track of the car in the rear, the driver begins to glance 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 thier speed, whihc of the following statement is/are correct?

A

The speed of the car in the rear is `65 kmh^-1`

B

In the side mirror the car in the rear would appear to approach with a speed of `5 kmh^-1` 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 car decreases.

D

In the side miror, the speed of the approacing car would appear to increase as the distance between the cars decreases.
