Paragraph: A particle accelerates with 2m/s 2 for some

time then retards with 3m/s2 and comes to rest after 15s.
Answer from question 54 to question 57.

Question-58: A particle first accelerates from rest with a1

then retards with a2 and finally comes to rest after time T.
Choose the incorrect statement-

(A) Ratio

(B) Maximum velocity of particle is

(C) Displacement during motion is

Solution: Suppose particle accelerates for time t and
retards for time t'=(T-t). Particle starts from rest and comes
to rest thus area under acceleration-time graph will be zero.
