Text Solution

Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
B

Since particles are being dropped from a moving body i.e., a moving reference frame, we used reference frame of balloon itself for both the particles.
Motions of particles 'A' and 'B' are w.r.t. balloon, so . balloon is reference point therefore it is assumed to be at rest.
We denote balloon by b
For

(A falls off 8 sec)

For

Separation distance between 'A' and 'B'
