Two particles, A and B, are moving with constant velocities 
and 
. At the initial
moment, their position vectors are 
and 
, respectively. The condition for particle A and B for their collision is
A
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
For two particles to collide, the direction of the relative velocity of one with respect to other
should be directed towards the relative position of the other particle,
i.e., 
direction of relative position of 1 w.r.t. 2
and 
direction of velocity of 2 w.r.t. 1
so for collision of A and
