Then choose the incorrect statement: $\left[1\text{mark}\right]$

A. The auto is at rest with respect to the bus.
B. The bus is in motion with respect to the motorcycle.
C. The motorcycle is in motion with respect to the car.
D. The car is in motion with respect to the bus.

Answer 1

Correct answer$:$ option C $-$ The motorcycle is in motion with respect to the car.

Solution:
It is given that the bus, the auto, the car and the motorcycle are moving with the same speed. We know that rest and motion are relative. Here, since the bus and the auto are moving with the same speed in the same direction, they seem to be at rest for each other. Same is the case with the motorcycle and the car moving on the other side of the road. However, they appear to be in motion to the bus and the auto as they are moving in an opposite direction.
