The answer to this question is B.
"Vary directly" is another way of saying "directly proportional".
In simple English, this just means, as one increases, the other increases too.
a = 6
b = 4
The question says find out what a is when b is 16.
First, lets find how many times larger b has gotten.
16/4 = 4
b had gotten 4 times bigger to go from b=4 to b=16
If a is varying directly, it means that it will also get 4 times bigger.
Therefore, a = 6 x 4 = 24

To answer, first, convert the given velocity in km/h to m/s as shown below,
(144 km / hr) x (1000 m / 1 km) x (1 hr / 3600 s) = 40 m/s
The acceleration (a) is solved by through the equation,
a = (Vf - Vi) / Δt
where Vf and Vi are final and initial velocities, respectively and Δt is change in time. Substituting the known values,
a = (0 - 40 m/s) / 12 s = -3.3 m/s²
Thus, the answer to this item is letter B.
