Solution

The correct option is B Avergae velocity of ant is a2 m/s along AC
The displacement of ant will be the length of diagonal AC.
ΔS=AC=2 a m
Δt=2 s
velocityavg=ΔSΔt
velocityavg=2a m2 s=a2 m/s
This is the required magnitude of average velocity. However, the direction of average velocity will be along the direction of displacement(AC).
Avergae velocity of ant is a2 m/s along AC
