Question
Assertion : The relative velocity between any two bodies moving in opposite direction is equal to sum of the velocities of two bodies.
Reason : Sometimes relative velocity between two bodies is equal to difference in velocities of the two.

Answer

(b) When two bodies are moving in opposite direction, relative velocity between them is equal to sum of the velocity of bodies. But if the bodies are moving in same directiontheirrelative velocity is equal to difference in velocity of the bodies.
