    A point is moving with uniform acceleration in the eleventh and fifteenth seconds from the commencement it moves through 720 and 960 cm respectively. Its initial velocity and the acceleration with which it moves are

    A)  \[60\text{ }m/s,\text{ }40\text{ }m/{{s}^{2}}\]

    B)  \[70\text{ }m/s,\text{ }30\text{ }m/{{s}^{2}}\]

    C)  \[90\text{ }m/s,\text{ }60\text{ }m/{{s}^{2}}\]

    D)  None of the above

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Since, \[{{S}_{nth}}=u+\frac{1}{2}f(2n-1)\] \[\therefore \] \[{{S}_{11th}}=u+\frac{1}{2}f(21)=720\] ?..(i) and \[{{S}_{15th}}=u+\frac{1}{2}f(29)=960\] ?.(ii) On subtracting Eq. (ii) from Eq. (i), we get \[4f=240\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[f=60\] \[\therefore \] From Eq. (i), \[u+\frac{1}{2}\,(60)\,(21)=720\] \[\therefore \] \[u=720-630=90\] Hence, \[u=90\,m/s\] \[f=60m/{{s}^{2}}\]
