    From the top of a tower, a particle is thrown vertically downwards with a velocity of 10 m/s. The ratio of the distances covered by it in the 3rd and 2nd seconds of the motion is (Here \[g=10\text{ }m/{{s}^{2}}\]):

    A)  \[6:3\]

    B)  \[3:6\]

    C)  \[7:5\]

    D)  \[5:7\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     Here: initial velocity\[u=10\text{ }m/s\] First time limit\[{{t}_{1}}=3\text{ }sec\] Second time limit \[{{t}_{2}}=2\text{ }sec\] and       \[g=10\text{ }m/{{s}^{2}}\] The distance covered in 3rd second \[{{s}_{n}}=u+\frac{g}{2}(2n-1)\] \[{{s}_{3}}=10+\frac{10}{2}(2\times 3-1)\] \[=35m\] Similarly, the distance covered in 2nd sec. \[{{s}_{2}}=10+\frac{10}{2}(2\times 2-1)\] \[=25m\] Hence the ratio of distances \[{{s}_{3}}:{{s}_{2}}=35:25\] \[=7:5\]
