Solution

The correct option is C 40 m/s
For at curve,
area under the graph = change in velocity.

Total area under the graph from t=0 to t=30 s is given by
A= Area of the graph from t=0 to t=10 s + Area of the graph from t=10 s to t=30 s
A=4×1020×4=40 m/s
Now,
A=Δv (where Δv is change in velocity)
40=v30v0
As v0=0
v30=40 m/s
Hence, speed of the particle at 30 s=40 m/s
