Particle \(A\) moves along \(X\) -axis with a uniform velocity of magnitude \(10 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}\). Particle \(B\) moves with uniform velocity \(20 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}\) along a direction making an angle of \(60^{\circ}\) with the positive direction of \(X\) -axis as shown in the figure. The relative velocity of \(B\) with respect to that of \(A\) is

- A \(10 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}\) along \(X\) -axis
- B \(10 \sqrt{3} \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}\) along \(Y\) -axis (perpendicular to \(X\) -axis)
- C \(10 \sqrt{5} \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}\) along the bisection of the velocities of A and \(B\)
- D \(30 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}\) along negative \(X\) -axis
