In order to keep track of the car in the rear, the driver begins to glance alternatively at the rear and side mirror of his car after every till the other car overtakes. If the two cars were maintaining their speeds, which of the following statement (s) is/are correct?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
In the side mirror, the speed of the approaching car would appear to increase as the distance between the cars decreases.
