Two particles are executing $SHM$ of the same amplitude $A$ and frequency $\omega$ along the $x$-axis. Their mean positions are separated by $X_0$ (where $X_0 > A$). If the maximum separation between them is $X_0 + 2A$,then the phase difference between their motion is:

  • A
    $\frac{\pi}{2}$
  • B
    $\pi$
  • C
    $\frac{\pi}{3}$
  • D
    $\frac{\pi}{4}$
