The position-time (x-t) graphs for two children A and B returning from their school O to their homes P and Q respectively along straight line path (taken as x-axis) are shown in figure. Choose the correct statement (s):

A

A lives closer to the school B

B

A starts from the school earlier than B

C

A and B have equal average velocities from 0 to `t_0`.

D

B overtakes A on the way

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, B, D
`OPltOQ`, so A lives closer. A starts at `t=0`, whereas B starts at `t=t`, So A starts earlier than B. Their average velocity is not equal because their displacement OP and OR are not same. B overtakes A, where both the graphs intersect.
