Two particles are executing simple harmonic motion of the same amplitude $A$ and frequency $\omega$ along the $x$-axis. Their mean positions are separated by a distance $X_0$ $(X_0 > A)$. If the maximum separation between them is $(X_0 + A)$,the phase difference between their motions is:

  • A
    $\frac{\pi}{2}$
  • B
    $\frac{\pi}{4}$
  • C
    $\frac{\pi}{6}$
  • D
    $\frac{\pi}{3}$
