Question

four cyclists ABCD starts at the same point and at the same point and move in a straight line to reach the destination .They all move with uniform velocities .They reach the destinations in the following order C->A->B->D if thedisplacement time graph is plotted for each cyclists which will be having the highest slope?

Answer 1

the final order shows the C travelled with max. speed ,so it reached earliest and u know that slope of displacement time graph represents velocity. Hence slope for C will be highest as it has the highest velocity of the 4 cyclists

Answer 2

Answer:

D has a HIGHER slope.

Explanation:

When all the four start cycling with UNIFORM VELOCITY yet they reach the destination in the following order

C--> A-->B-->D, which means that the cyclist D is reaching the destination very first and C reaching the destination last. It is because even though they have uniform velocities, D is moving with maximum SPEED and reaching faster as compared to C. In the graph, D must have a HIGHER SLOPE rather than C which has a shorter slope.
