Solution

The relative velocity of two objects moving in opposite directions is calculated by adding their individual velocities.

Here, aeroplane A is moving at a velocity of 450 m/s and aeroplane B is moving at a velocity of 500 m/s.

So, the relative velocity of aeroplane A with respect to aeroplane B is 450 m/s + 500 m/s = 950 m/s.

Therefore, the correct answer is D. 950 m/s.
