Answer: A) -55 km/h

Explanation: The running man is traveling at -55 km/hr with respect to Car A. If the man were standing still, the car would be passing at 50. Since he is traveling at 5 in the opposite direction, that direction is positive, to him. His velocity now adds to the car velocity (50 + 5), but negative to account for the opposite direction.

Hope this helps!
