(A) lives closer to the school
(B) lives closer to the school
(C) takes lesser time to reach home
(D) travels faster than
(E) travels faster than
Choose the correct answer from the options given below
Show answer and solution
Answer: (D) and only
From the position time graph the velocity is found out by the slope of the line. The slope is given by .
The slope of is greater than . Hence, the velocity of is greater than . As can be seen from the graph . So lives closer to the school and . Hence, this is the correct option.
The slope of is greater than . Hence, the velocity of is greater than . As can be seen from the graph . So lives closer to the school and . Hence, this is the correct option.
