Relative speed > individual speeds
Relative speed < individual speeds
Relative speed =individual speeds
Relative speed    individual speeds
 
                
                  Answer: (1) Relative speed > individual speeds
Explanation:
The formula of relative velocity is:
    
When the two velocities are in the same direction
Thus, the magnitudes add up when the two velocities are in the opposite direction
