Solution

Dear student,
the correct option is D.
The first statement is right. When velocity(v) is proportional to force, it means v is proportional to acceleration (a) assuming mass remains constant.
a~v(~ is used to show proportionality)
a=kv, where k is a constant.
Therefore, a/v=k
Slope of velocity displacement graph is dv/ds
dv/ds= dv/dt×dt/ds=a/v=k
i.e., the slope is a constant. hence it is a line. so first statement is true.

Now the second statement:
Slope of acceleration time graph=da/dt=0
i.e., acceleration is a constant.
Now slope of velocity displacement graph is dv/ds
dv/ds=dv/dt×dt/ds= a/v.
This is not a constant as v is a variable, even when a is constant. Thus the statement is wrong
Thank you
