Two particles are performing simple harmonic motion in a straight line about the same equilibrium point. The amplitude and time period for both particles are same and equal to $A$ and $T,$  respectively. At time $t=0$ one particle has displacement $A$ while the other one has displacement $\frac {-A}{2}$ and they are moving towards each other. If they cross each other at time $t,$ then $t$ is
  • A$\frac{{5T}}{6}$
  • B$\frac{{T}}{3}$
  • C$\frac{{T}}{4}$
  • D$\frac{{T}}{6}$
