Two towns $X$ and $Y$ are connected by a regular bus service. $A$ bus leaves in either direction at every $T$ minutes. $A$ man moving with some speed in the direction $X$ to $Y$ finds that a bus goes past him every $t_1$ minutes in the direction of his motion,and every $t_2$ minutes in the opposite direction. Then $T$ is given by

  • A
    $\frac{2 t_1 t_2}{t_1+t_2}$
  • B
    $\frac{\left(t_1-t_2\right) t_1}{t_1+t_2}$
  • C
    $\frac{2 t_2\left(t_1+t_2\right)}{\left|t_1+t_2\right|}$
  • D
    $\frac{t_1 t_2}{\left|t_1-t_2\right|}$

$STATEMENT-1$ For an observer looking out through the window of a fast-moving train,the nearby objects appear to move in the opposite direction to the train,while the distant objects appear to be stationary.
$STATEMENT-2$ If the observer and the object are moving at velocities $\vec{V}_1$ and $\vec{V}_2$ respectively with reference to a laboratory frame,the velocity of the object with respect to the observer is $\vec{V}_2 - \vec{V}_1$.
