Solution

The correct option is C

1.11 m/s2


Initial speed (u)=80kmhr=80×100060×60=800m36s

Final speed (v)=60kmhr=60×100060×60=600m36s

Time taken (t)=5 s

a=vut =60080036×5=1.11ms2

Here sign of acceleration is negative which shows that the speed is decreasing and acceleration is in the opposite direction of the motion. So, the deceleration is 1.11 m/s2.
