A body is at rest at $x = 0$. At $t = 0$, it starts moving in the positive $x$-direction with a constant acceleration. At the same instant another body passes through $x = 0$ moving in the positive $x$ direction with a constant speed. The position of the first body is given by $\mathrm { x } _ { 1 } ( \mathrm { t } )$ after time ' t ' and that of the second body by $x _ { 2 } ( t )$ after the same time interval. Which of the following graphs correctly describes $\left( x _ { 1 } - x _ { 2 } \right)$ as a function of time ' $t$ '?
