Question

For the data given below:

Distance (from origin)	Time
0	9:00 AM
10	9:30 AM
20	10:00 AM
40	10:30 AM

Select the graph that most appropriately represents the above data.

• A.
• B.
• C.
• D.

Answer 1

The correct option is B

The time interval in the given data set is constant. The distance moved is captured after every half an hour.
The distance moved by the object is the same for the first three intervals i.e. 10 km.
However, in the last interval, the object covers more distance i.e. 20 km. Hence, the graph will be a straight line till a certain point. From that point onwards the line will become steeper.
