    A particle with uniform acceleration reaches \[100\text{ }m\]in the 5th second and \[151\text{ }m\]in the 8th second. The acceleration is

    A)  \[15m/{{s}^{2}}\]        

    B)  \[~16m/{{s}^{2}}\]

    C)  \[17\text{ }m/{{s}^{2}}\]        

    D)  \[20\text{ }m/{{s}^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Distance described in a particular second \[s=u+\frac{1}{2}\,f\,(2t-1)\] According to the question \[100=u+\frac{1}{2}f.\,9\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[100-\frac{9}{2}f=u\] ?.. (i) and \[151=u+\frac{1}{2}\,f.\,15\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[151-\frac{15}{2}\,f=u\] ?.. (ii) From Eqs. (i) and (ii), \[100-\frac{9}{2}\,f=151-\frac{15}{2}f\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\left( \frac{15}{2}-\frac{9}{2} \right)\,f=51\] \[f=\frac{51\times 2}{6}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[f=17m/{{s}^{2}}\]
