 A body" A " starts from rest with an acceleration a1.  After 2 sec, another body" B " starts from rest with an acceleration a2.  If they cover equal distances in the 5th second after the start of A, then the ratio of a1:a2  is equal to 

a
5:9
b
5:7
c
9:5
d
9:7

detailed solution

Correct option is A

given initial velocity u=0;acceleration =a1;time n=5sec;substitute in, Sn=u+a2(2n-1)---(1)x body A   :    S  =  0+12 a1  (2×5−1)   =   9a12---(3) body B:→given initial velocity u=0;acceleration =a2;time n=3sec;substitute in equation(1)     S  =  0+12 a2  (2×3−1)   =   5a22---(4) equate equations (3) and (4)   9a12=   5a22 ⇒ a1a2=59
