Answer:
Option (A)
Explanation:
Displacement of a particle on a velocity time graph is represented by the area between the line representing velocity and x-axis (time).
Displacement of a particle from t = 0 o t = 40 seconds = Area of ΔAOB
Area of triangle AOB =
=
= 80 m
Similarly, displacement of the particle from t = 40 to t = 80 seconds = Area of ΔBCD
Area of ΔBCD =
= 80 m
Total displacement of the particle from t = 0 to t = 80 seconds,
= 80 + 80
= 160 m
Option (A) will be the answer.
