The given graph shows the progress of a cyclist during a ride.

Which of the following describes the rider’s progress over the period of time.

• A. As time passes the speed of cyclist decreases steadily.
• B. The speed of cyclist decreases for a short time period and then increases very slowly.
• C. As time passes the speed of cyclist increases.
• D. The cyclist moves with uniform speed.

Answer 1

The correct option is A As time passes the speed of cyclist decreases steadily.

We can see that as time progresses, the speed of the cyclist reduces steadily and becomes 0 when it meets the X axis. Hence the speed of the cyclist decreases steadily.
