Two trains, which are moving along different tracks in opposite directions, are put on the same track by mistake. On noticing the mistake, when the trains are $300 \, m$ apart, the drivers start slowing down the trains. The graphs given below show the decrease in their velocities as a function of time. The separation between the trains when both have stopped is: (in $ \, m$)

  • A
    $120$
  • B
    $20$
  • C
    $60$
  • D
    $280$
