Options
25 m
40 m
50 m
45 m

Solution
50 m
Explanation:
Distance covered = Area under velocity – time graph
=1/2 × base × height
a = 1/2 × 5 × 20 = 50 m

(i) In speed time graph uniform motion is given by a straight line parallel to x axis so figure (a) denotes the uniform motion.
(ii) In speed time graph motion with increasing speed is shown by straight line with positive slope so figure (c) denotes the motion with speed increasing.
(iii) In speed time graph motion with decreasing speed is shown by straight line with negative slope so figure (b) denotes the motion with speed decreasing.
(iv) In speed time graph motion with oscillating speed is shown by zigzag line so figure {d) denotes the motion with speed oscillating.
The area of the velocity-time graph gives the displacement of the body.
