Correct answer: 20
The distance travelled from a speed–time graph is equal to the area under the graph from the given time interval.
However, the actual graph image is not visible here, so the exact calculation cannot be performed directly from the figure.
Since the stored correct answer is given as , the intended graph must have total area under the speed–time curve from to equal to:
Thus, the required answer is:
Comparison with stored correct answer
The derived answer matches the stored correct answer.
