Two trains travelling on the same track are approaching each other with equal speeds of $40\ m/s$. The drivers of the trains begin to decelerate simultaneously when they are just $2.0\ km$ apart. Assuming the decelerations to be uniform and equal,the value of the deceleration to barely avoid collision should be..........$m/s^2$.

  • A
    $11.8$
  • B
    $11$
  • C
    $2.1$
  • D
    $0.8$
