• A. East-north direction
• B. West-north direction
• C. South-east direction
• D. None of these

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

West-north direction

Answer 2

$\overset{\rightarrow}{v_{ct}} = \overset{\rightarrow}{v_{c}} - \overset{\rightarrow}{v_{t}}$

$\overset{\rightarrow}{v_{ct}} = \overset{\rightarrow}{v_{c}} + ( - \overset{\rightarrow}{v_{t}})$

Velocity of car w.r.t. train $(v_{ct})$ is towards West – North
