Correct Option (d)
Explanation:
Let the car accelerate for time t1 travelling distance S1 and acquiring maximum velocity v.
Then, S1=12αt21 [from the equation, S=ut+12at2 ] and v=αt1⇒S1=12α×v2α2=v22α
After this car decelerates for time t2 to come to rest
Hence, S2=vt2−12βt22
[from the equation, S=ut−12at2 ]
and 0=v−βt2
[from the ecuation, u=v−at ]
⇒S2=v2β−v22β=v22β Now 1t1+t2=tvα+vβ=t⇒v=(αβα+β)t
Also, total distance travelled,
S=S1+S2=v22(1α+1β)=12(αβtα+β)2(α+βαβ)=12(αβα+β)t2
