Dear student,
When you are using the logic

, then the angular speed you talk about is about the center O. Thus the relative angular velocity of 2 with respect to 1 about center is always zero. Hence the angular displacements of the two about the center is same all the time.
However the angular displacement of the second with respect to first would not be zero all the time since we can note that the second particle would actually rotate about the first as it moves from right hand side of it to left hand side. Hence in this question, we can ensure, that the relative angular vecloity about the first point itself as been asked.
