Consider a pair of circles $(|x| - 1)^2 + y^2 = 1$. Ram is moving along the circle centered at $(1, 0)$ in the clockwise direction at a rate of $2 \ m/s$,and Shyam is moving along the circle centered at $(-1, 0)$ in the anticlockwise direction at a rate of $1 \ m/s$. If Ram and Shyam start their journey from the origin $(0, 0)$,then the rate of change of the distance between Ram and Shyam at the instant when Ram crosses the $x$-axis for the first time is:

  • A
    $\sqrt{10}$
  • B
    $\frac{\sqrt{5}}{2}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{\frac{5}{2}}$
  • D
    $\frac{2\sqrt{10}}{\pi}$
