Two trains $A$ and $B$ travel on two parallel rail tracks in opposite directions with speeds $v_1$ and $v_2$,respectively. They take $4 \ s$ to pass each other at these speeds. If the speed of train $A$ is increased by $50 \%$,then they take $3 \ s$ to pass each other. The ratio $v_1 / v_2$ is:

  • A
    $0.5$
  • B
    $1: 5$
  • C
    $2: 1$
  • D
    $2: 5$
