A body starts from rest and moves with constant acceleration. The ratio of distance covered by the body in `nth` second to that covered in `n` second is.

A

`(2)/(n^(2))-(1)/(n)`

B

`(2)/(n^(2))+(1)/(n)`

C

`(2)/(n)-(1)/(n^(2))`

D

`(1)/(n)+(1)/(n_(2))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

`(S_(N))/(S)=((1)/(2)a(2n-1))/((1)/(2)an^(2))=(2n)/(n^(2))-(1)/(n)-(1)/(n^(2))`.
