Text Solution

Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
C

Displacement of the particle during third second of the motion (i.e. between t = 2s and t = 3s) is zero. Hence t = 2.5 sec is the turning point of the motion.

For distance S t = 2 = 25 × × 2 − − × × 10 × × 2 2 = 30 m

and S t=2.5 = 25 × × 2.5 − − × × 10 × × 2.5 2 = 31.25 m

Hence distance covered by the particle during third second of motion = 2 (31.25 − − 30) = 2.5 m,

Hence is correct.
