The correct answer is: If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
When the bodies are moving in same direction, relative velocity between them is equal to the differences in velocities of two bodies. When two bodies are moving in opposite directions, relative velocity between them is equal to the sum of the velocities of two bodies.
