Question

A person sitting in a moving bus is ________ with respect to co-passengers and ________ with respect to a person standing outside the bus.

• A. in motion, in motion
• B. at rest, at rest
• C. at rest, in motion
• D. in motion, at rest

Answer 1

The correct option is C at rest, in motion

A person sitting in a moving bus is at rest with respect to the co-passengers because the position of co-passengers are not changing with respect to the person as both are inside the moving bus.

The person standing outside the moving bus is in motion with respect to the person inside the bus as the co-passengers inside the bus are changing position with time with respect to the person outside the bus.
