    A body is falling freely under gravity. The distances covered by the body in first, second and third minute of its motion are in the ratio

    A)  \[1:4:9\]                             

    B)  \[1:2:3\]

    C)  \[1:3:5\]             

    D)         \[1:5:6\]

    E)  \[1:5:13\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Distance covered in a particular time is \[{{s}_{n}}=u+\frac{1}{2}g(2n-1)\] \[\therefore \]  \[{{s}_{1}}=0+\frac{1}{2}g(2\times 1-1)=\frac{g}{2}\]                 \[{{s}_{2}}=0+\frac{1}{2}g(2\times 2-1)=\frac{3}{2}g\] and        \[{{s}_{3}}=0+\frac{1}{2}g(2\times 3-1)=\frac{5}{2}g\] Hence, the required ratio is \[{{s}_{1}}:{{s}_{2}}:{{s}_{3}}=\frac{g}{2}:\frac{3}{2}g:\frac{5}{2}g\] \[=1:3:5\]
