  • A Move west at a speed that is equal to the bus's speed.
  • B Move west at a speed that is less than the bus's speed
  • C Standstill
  • D Move east at a speed that is equal to the bus's speed.

It's Wrong!

The passenger on the bus sees the man on the curb appear to move west at a speed that is equal to the bus's speed. This is because the bus is moving east, so the relative motion between the bus and the man is that the man appears to be moving in the opposite direction at the same speed as the bus.
