Q. STATEMENT-1
For an observer looking out through the window of a fast moving train, the nearby objects appear to move in the opposite direction to the train, while the distant objects appear to be stationary.
and
STATEMENT-2
If the observer and the object are moving at velocities $\vec{V}_{1}$ and $\vec{V}_{2}$ respectively with reference to a laboratory frame, the velocity of the object with respect to the observer is $\vec{ V }_{2}-\vec{ V }_{1}$
