Question

A train is moving towards east and a car is moving along north, both with the same speed. The observed direction of car to the passenger in the train is

• A. East – North direction
• B. West – North direction
• C. South – East direction
• D. South – West direction

Answer 1

The correct option is B West – North direction

Let ${\overrightarrow{v}}_c$ be the velocity of car and ${\overrightarrow{v}}_t$ be the velocity of train.
We know that
${\overrightarrow{v}}_{ct}={\overrightarrow{v}}_c-{\overrightarrow{v}}_t$

Hence, from the figure, velocity of car w.r.t train $\left(v_{ct}\right)$ is towards West – North.
