  3. C53\dfrac{5}{3}
  4. D35\dfrac{3}{5}

Correct answer

C. 53\dfrac{5}{3}

Step-by-step solution

Form the v - t graph shown, the ratio of distance to displacement in 25s of motion is:

The area under the velocity time graph gives the displacement. The area for t=0stot=25st = 0s\text{to}t = 25sis

(Area)=(12×5×10)+(5×10)+(12×30×5)+(12×20×5)−(12×20×5)( Area ) = \left(\dfrac{1}{2} \times 5 \times 10\right) + \left(5 \times 10\right) + \left(\dfrac{1}{2} \times 30 \times 5\right) + \left(\dfrac{1}{2} \times 20 \times 5\right) - \left(\dfrac{1}{2} \times 20 \times 5\right)

⇒Area=25+50+75+50−50=150m⇒ Area = 25 + 50 + 75 + 50 - 50 = 150m
Hence, the displacement =150m= 150m

The distance is defined as the path taken by the object to travel from initial to final position. Also note that displacement is a vector quantity, but distance is a scalar quantity.
Distance =(12×5×10)+(5×10)+(12×30×5)+(12×20×5)+(12×20×5)=(200+50)=250m= \left(\dfrac{1}{2} \times 5 \times 10\right) + \left(5 \times 10\right) + \left(\dfrac{1}{2} \times 30 \times 5\right) + \left(\dfrac{1}{2} \times 20 \times 5\right) + \left(\dfrac{1}{2} \times 20 \times 5\right) = ( 200 + 50 ) = 250m

Therefore, required ratio
distancedisplacement=250150=(53)\dfrac{\text{distance}}{\text{displacement}} = \dfrac{250}{150} = \left(\dfrac{5}{3}\right)
