Solution

The correct option is A (v2v1)/(Δt2Δt1)=(v3v2)/(Δt3Δt2)
Let u be the initial velocity
Let t1=Δt1,t2=Δt1+Δt2 & t3=Δt1+Δt2+Δt3

Since the motion is uniformly accelerated,
v1=u+u+at12=u+a(t12)=u+a(Δt12)
v2=u+at1+u+at22=u+a(t1+t22)=u+a(Δt1+Δt22)
v3=u+at2+u+at32=u+a(t2+t32)=u+a(Δt1+Δt2+t32)

v2v1=a(Δt1+Δt22)
v3v2=a(Δt2+Δt32)

v2v1Δt1+Δt2=v3v2Δt2+Δt3
