Correct Option - 4
Detailed Solution:
t? + t? = t
v? /t? = α and v? /t? = β
t? = v? /α and t? = v? /β
v? /α + v? /β = t
v? (1/α + 1/β) = t
v? = (αβt) / (α + β)
Distance traveled = Area under speed-time graph
Distance = ½ * base * height = ½ * t * v?
Distance = ½ * t * (αβt) / (α + β) = (αβt²) / (2 (α + β)
