Solution

The correct option is B $30 a_{2}$
Instantaneous acceleration is given by, $a = \frac{d v}{d t}$ and $v = \frac{d x}{d t} \Rightarrow v = \frac{d (a_{0} + a_{1} t + a_{2} t^{3})}{d t} = a_{1} + 3 a_{2} t^{2}$
$∴ a = \frac{d (a_{1} + 3 a_{2} t^{2})}{d t} \Rightarrow a = 6 a_{2} t$
Hence, acceleration $a$ at $t = 5 \Rightarrow a = 6 a_{2} \times 5 = 30 a_{2}$
