Correct answer: C

Analyze Statement I
Statement I says: Area under velocity–time graph gives the distance travelled by the body in a given time.
We know that area under a velocity–time graph gives which is the displacement, not always the distance.
- If velocity remains positive throughout, then displacement = distance.
- But in general, if velocity changes sign, distance travelled is not equal to the signed area under the velocity–time graph.
Hence, Statement I is false in general.
-
Analyze Statement II
Statement II says: Area under acceleration–time graph is equal to the change in velocity in the given time.
Since integrating over time gives
Therefore, area under acceleration–time graph equals change in velocity.
Hence, Statement II is true.
-
Choose the correct option
- Statement I: False
- Statement II: True
Therefore, the correct option is:
-
Compare with stored correct answer
Stored correct answer = C
My derived answer also = C. So they agree.
