Physics Motion in a Straight Line Relative Motion MCQ (Single Correct)

A body is at rest at x = 0. At t = 0, it starts moving in the positive x-direction with a constant acceleration. At the same instant another body passes through x = 0 moving in the positive x-direction with a constant speed. The position of the first body is given by x 1 (t) after time ‘t’ and that of second body by x 2 (t) after the same time interval. Which of the following graphs correctly describes (x 1 – x 2 ) as a function of time ‘t’ ?
