Problem

Particle P moves with velocity vP=(3i^+4j^) m s−1\mathbf{v}_P=(3\hat{i}+4\hat{j})\,\text{m\,s}^{-1} while particle Q moves with velocity vQ=(5i^−2j^) m s−1\mathbf{v}_Q=(5\hat{i}-2\hat{j})\,\text{m\,s}^{-1}. The magnitude of the velocity of P relative to Q is closest to (a) 7.3 m s−17.3\,\text{m\,s}^{-1} (b) 6.3 m s−16.3\,\text{m\,s}^{-1} (c) 4.5 m s−14.5\,\text{m\,s}^{-1} (d) 8.2 m s−18.2\,\text{m\,s}^{-1}
