A car is moving on a straight road at a speed of \(50\) km/h and a truck is ahead of the car and has a large plane mirror fixed vertically on the back of the truck. The truck is running at a speed of \(70\) km/h. For a stationary observer standing between the car and the truck, what is the speed of the image of the car in the mirror?
1. \(40\) km/h 2. \(70\) km/h
3. \(20\) km/h 4. \(90\) km/h

1. \(x+\mu y\)
2. \(y+\mu x\)
3. \(x+\frac{y}{\mu}\)
4. \(y+\frac{x}{\mu}\)
