c
In the ratio of the difference in the square roots of the integers, i.e., 1 , (2−1) , (3−2) , (4−3) , …
d
In the ratio of the reciprocals of the square roots of the integers, i.e.,11 , 12 , 13 ,…

detailed solution

Correct option is C

Time taken to cover n  metre is given by n=12gtn2  or tn=2ng Time taken to cover (n+1)  metre is given bytn+1=2(n+1)g ∴ tn+1−tn=2(n+1)g−2ng =2g[n+1−n] This given ratios as:1 , (2−1) , (3−2) , … , etc,
