• B. A passenger in a standing bus
• C. A passenger walking towards the bus stop
• D. Another passenger waiting for the bus

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (C)

A passenger walking towards the bus stop

Motion and rest are in relative terms because they depend upon the observer’s frame of reference.

A passenger in a moving bus and a passenger walking towards the bus stop find Raj to be in motion, as the observer’s frame keeps changing.
