    A body starts from rest and moves with a uniform acceleration. The ratio of the distance covered in nth second to the distance covered in a n second is

    A) \[\frac{2}{n}-\frac{1}{{{n}^{2}}}\]                            

    B) \[\frac{1}{{{n}^{2}}}-\frac{1}{n}\]

    C) \[\frac{2}{{{n}^{2}}}-\frac{1}{n}\]                            

    D) \[\frac{2}{n}+\frac{1}{{{n}^{2}}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Let \[f\] be the uniform acceleration, then \[{{S}_{n}}=\]distance covered in nth second                 \[=\frac{1}{2}+(n-1)\] and\[S{{'}_{n}}=\]distance covered in \[n\] second\[=\frac{1}{2}+{{n}^{2}}\] \[\therefore \]  \[\frac{{{S}_{n}}}{S{{'}_{n}}}=\frac{2n-1}{{{n}^{2}}}=\frac{2}{n}-\frac{1}{{{n}^{2}}}\]
