At any instant, the position and velocity vectors of two particles are respectively. They will collide if :

Since initial position vectors are therefore position vector of the particles after time t will be . At the time of collision, the position vectors of both particles should be same.

An Intiative by Sri Chaitanya

${\bar v_1} = {\bar v_2}\$

$({\bar r_1} - {\bar r_2}) \cdot ({\bar v_1} - {\bar v_2}) = 0\$

$({\bar r_1} - {\bar r_2}) \times ({\bar v_1} - {\bar v_2}) = 0$

${r_1} > {r_2};{v_1} < {v_2}\$

answer is C.

Detailed Solution

Since initial position vectors are ${\bar r_1},{\bar r_2}$ therefore position vector of the particles after time t will be $({\bar r_1} + {\bar v_1}t)\,\,and\,\,({\bar r_2} + {\bar v_2}t)$ . At the time of collision, the position vectors of both particles should be same.
