On a two-lane road,car $A$ is travelling with a speed of $36 \; km/h$. Two cars $B$ and $C$ approach car $A$ in opposite directions with a speed of $54 \; km/h$ each. At a certain instant,when the distance $AB = AC = 1 \; km$,car $B$ decides to overtake car $A$ before car $C$ does. What minimum acceleration (in $m/s^2$) of car $B$ is required to avoid an accident?

  • A
    $0.5$
  • B
    $1$
  • C
    $2$
  • D
