Text Solution

Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
D

Let and be the initial velocities of the two particles and and be their angles of projections with the horizontal.

The velocities of the two particles after time t are

And

Their relative velocity is

Which is a constant. So the path followed by one, as seen by the other is straight line, making a constant angle with the horizontal.
