MCQ (Single Correct Answer)

A car is moving with at a constant speed of $60 \mathrm{~km} \mathrm{~h}^{-1}$ on a straight road. Looking at the rear view mirror, the driver finds that the car following him is at a distance of 100 m and is approaching with a speed of $5 \mathrm{kmh}^{-1}$.

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 2 s till the other car overtakes. If the two cars were maintaining their speeds, which of the following statement $(\mathrm{s})$ is/are correct?

A
The speed of the car in the rear is $65 \mathrm{~km} \mathrm{~h}^{-1}$
B
In the side mirror, the car in the rear would appear to approach with a speed of $5 \mathrm{kmh}^{-1}$ to the driver of the leading car
C
In the rear view mirror, the speed of the approaching car would appear to decrease as the distance between the cars decreases
D
In the side mirror, the speed of the approaching car would appear to increase as the distance between the cars decreases
