Options

  1. A

    T=2πx22+x12v12−v22T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{{x}_{2}^{2}+{x}_{1}^{2}}{{v}_{1}^{2}-{v}_{2}^{2}}}T=2πv12​−v22​x22​+x12​​​

  2. B

    T=2πx22+x12v12+v22T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{{x}_{2}^{2}+{x}_{1}^{2}}{{v}_{1}^{2}+{v}_{2}^{2}}}T=2πv12​+v22​x22​+x12​​​

  3. C

    T=2πx22−x12v12+v22T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{{x}_{2}^{2}-{x}_{1}^{2}}{{v}_{1}^{2}+{v}_{2}^{2}}}T=2πv12​+v22​x22​−x12​​​

  4. D

    T=2πx22−x12v12−v22T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{{x}_{2}^{2}-{x}_{1}^{2}}{{v}_{1}^{2}-{v}_{2}^{2}}}T=2πv12​−v22​x22​−x12​​​
