The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the definition of motion and the types of motion mentioned in the options. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question states that a body covers equal distances in equal intervals of time. We need to identify what type of motion this describes. 2. **Identifying Motion Types**: - **Uniform Motion**: This occurs when a body covers equal distances in equal intervals of time. This means the speed (or velocity) of the body remains constant. - **Non-Uniform Motion**: This occurs when a body covers unequal distances in equal intervals of time, indicating that the speed is changing. - **Oscillatory Motion**: This type of motion involves a body moving back and forth around a central point, such as a pendulum. It has a fixed time period but does not necessarily cover equal distances in equal time. - **Rotatory Motion**: This involves a body rotating around an axis. The distances covered can vary and do not have to be equal. 3. **Analyzing the Given Information**: Since the body is covering equal distances in equal intervals of time, we can conclude that the speed is constant. Therefore, the motion is uniform. 4. **Conclusion**: Based on the definitions and the analysis, the correct answer is: - **Option A: Uniform Motion**. ### Final Answer: The motion is said to be **Uniform Motion**.
