Preeti reached the metro station and found that the escalator was not working. She walked up the stationary escalator in time \(t_1.\) On other days, if she remains stationary on the moving escalator, then the escalator takes her up in time \(t_2.\) The time taken by her to walk upon the moving escalator will be:

1. \(\dfrac{t_1t_2}{t_2-t_1}\) 2. \(\dfrac{t_1t_2}{t_2+t_1}\)
3. \(t_1-t_2\) 4. \(\dfrac{t_1+t_2}{2}\)
