The figure shows a boy on a horizontal platform $A$ on a smooth horizontal surface,holding a rope attached to a box $B$. The boy pulls the rope with a constant force of $50 \ N$. (The boy does not slip over the platform). The combined mass of platform $A$ and the boy is $250 \ kg$,and that of box $B$ is $500 \ kg$. The velocity of $A$ relative to the box $B$,$5 \ s$ after the boy on $A$ begins to pull the rope,will be ............ $m/s$.

  • A
    $1$
  • B
    $1.5$
  • C
    $2$
  • D
    $0.5$
