An observer A sees an asteroid with a radioactive element moving by at a speed = 0.3 c and measures the radioactivity decay time to be $T_A$. Another observer B is moving with the asteroid and measures its decay time as $T_B$. Then $T_A$ and $T_B$ are related as below [VITEEE 2008]

2. $T_B$ = $T_A$

3. $T_B$ > $T_A$

4. Either 1 or 3 depending on whether the asteroid is approaching or moving away from A.
