$A$ car is standing $200\, m$ behind a bus,which is also at rest. The two start moving at the same instant but with different forward accelerations. The bus has an acceleration of $2\, m/s^2$ and the car has an acceleration of $4\, m/s^2$. The car will catch up with the bus after a time of:

  • A
    $\sqrt{110}\, s$
  • B
    $\sqrt{120}\, s$
  • C
    $10\sqrt{2}\, s$
  • D
    $15\, s$
