1. \(\sqrt{2} t\)
2. \(\left(1 + \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right) t\)
3. \(\frac{3 t}{2}\)
4. \(\frac{t}{\sqrt{2}}\)

Three particles are moving with constant velocities \(v_1 ,v_2\) and \(v\) respectively as given in the figure. After some time, if all the three particles are in the same line, then the relation among \(v_1 ,v_2\) and \(v\) is:
                            
1. \(v =v_1+v_2\)
2. \(v= \sqrt{v_{1} v_{2}}\)
3. \(v = \frac{v_{1} v_{2}}{v_{1} + v_{2}}\)
4. \(v=\frac{\sqrt{2} v_{1} v_{2}}{v_{1} + v_{2}}\)
