    A particle moves with constant acceleration along a straight line starting from rest. The percentage increase in its displacement  during the 4th second compared to that in the 3rd second is

    A)  33%   

    B)  40%   

    C)  66%  

    D)  77%

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     We know that \[{{S}_{nth}}=u+\frac{1}{2}a(2n-1)\] \[{{S}_{3rd}}=0+\frac{1}{2}a(2\times 3-1)=\frac{5}{2}a\,\]\[(\text{for}\,n=3s)\] \[{{S}_{4th}}=0+\frac{1}{2}a(2\times 4-1)=\frac{7}{2}a\,\]\[(\text{for}\,n=4s)\] So, the percentage increase \[=\frac{{{S}_{4th}}-{{S}_{3rd}}}{{{S}_{3rd}}}\times 100\] \[=\frac{\frac{7}{2}a-\frac{5}{2}a}{\frac{5}{2}a}\times 100\] \[=\frac{\frac{2a}{2}}{\frac{5}{2}a}\times 100=2\times 20=40%\]
