Solution

The correct option is C S1=13S2=15S3
Let ‘v’ denotes speed and ‘a’ denotes acceleration.

At t=0, v0= 0
At t=5, v5= 5a
At t=10, v10= 10a

For interval-1, (t=0 to t=5)
S1=v0*5 + (1/2)*a*52= 12.5a

For interval-2, (t=5 to t=10)
S2= v5*5 + (1/2)*a*52= 37.5a

For interval-3, (t=10 to t=15)
S3= v10*5 + (1/2)*a*52= 62.5a

Therefore, S1: S2: S3= 1:3:5
