The position-time graphs for two students A and B returning from the school to their homes are shown in figure.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
From the position time graph the velocity is found out by the slope of the line. The slope is given by 
The slope of B is greater than A. Hence, the velocity of B is greater than A. As can be seen from the graph X A < X B . So A lives closer to the school and V B > V A . Hence, this is the correct option.
