Solution

The correct option is C 125 m
Distance covered in 3 sec $= \frac{1}{2} g t^{2} = \frac{1}{2} \times 10 \times 3^{2} = 45 m$
At the end of 'n' second its velocity $u = g n$
At the end of 'n+1' second its velocity $v = g (n + 1)$

Distance traveled in the (n+1)th second $= \frac{(2 n + 1) g}{2} = \frac{(20 n + 10)}{2} = 10 n + 5$

$10 n + 5 = 45 \Rightarrow (n + 1) = 5$
Distance covered in 5 second $= \frac{1}{2} g t^{2} = \frac{1}{2} \times 10 \times 5^{2} = 125 m$
