Solution
The correct options are A Distance covered at time -2s is 12m B Distance covered at time 4s is 40m D Distance covered at time 0s is 0m We know that,
Distance=Time×Velocity
Distance covered by bike at time 0s and velocity 2ms−1 = 0 × 2 = 0m
Distance covered by bike at time 1s and velocity 4ms−1 = 1 × 4 = 4m
Distance covered by bike at time -2s and velocity -6ms−1 = -2 × -6 = 12m
Distance covered by bike at time -3s and velocity -8ms−1 = -3 × -8 = 24m
Distance covered by bike at time 4s and velocity 10ms−1 = 4 × 10 = 40m
Distance covered by bike at time -5s and velocity -12ms−1 = 4 × 10 = 60m
