    The ratios of the distance traversed, in successive intervals of time by a body, falling from rest, are

    A)  1 : 3 : 5 : 7 : 9.........         

    B)  2 : 4 : 6 : 8 : 10 .........

    C)  1 : 4 : 7 : 10 : 13 .........   

    D)  None of the above

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                     Initially, u = 0 Distance travelled in nth second is given by                 \[{{h}_{n}}=ut+\frac{g}{2}(2n-1)\] Distance travelled in 1st second                 \[{{h}_{1}}=0+\frac{g}{2}+(2\times 1-1)=\frac{g}{2}\] Distance travelled in 2nd second                 \[{{h}_{2}}=0+\frac{g}{2}(2\times 2-1)\]                                 \[{{h}_{2}}=\frac{3g}{2}\] Distance travelled in 3rd second                 \[{{h}_{3}}=0+\frac{g}{2}(2\times 3-1)\]                 \[{{h}_{3}}=\frac{5g}{2}\] The ratio of distances \[{{h}_{1}}:{{h}_{2}}:{{h}_{3}}:{{h}_{4}}:{{h}_{5}}\,...=1:3:5:7\,......\]
