Correct answer: B

  1. Given: The body moves in one direction under a constant power source.

  2. Use the definition of power: P=dWdtP = \frac{dW}{dt}P=dtdW​ Since work done changes kinetic energy, P=ddt(12mv2)P = \frac{d}{dt}\left(\frac{1}{2}mv^2\right)P=dtd​(21​mv2)

  3. Since PPP is constant, P=mvdvdtP = m v \frac{dv}{dt}P=mvdtdv​

  4. But v=dxdtv = \frac{dx}{dt}v=dtdx​. Also, another direct relation for power is P=FvP = FvP=Fv and with F=mdvdtF = m\frac{dv}{dt}F=mdtdv​, P=mvdvdtP = m v \frac{dv}{dt}P=mvdtdv​ Rearranging, v dv=Pmdtv\,dv = \frac{P}{m}dtvdv=mP​dt

  5. Integrate both sides: ∫v dv=∫Pmdt\int v\,dv = \int \frac{P}{m}dt∫vdv=∫mP​dt v22=Pmt+C\frac{v^2}{2} = \frac{P}{m}t + C2v2​=mP​t+C

  6. Assuming the body starts from rest at t=0t=0t=0, we get C=0C=0C=0. Hence, v2∝tv^2 \propto tv2∝t v∝t1/2v \propto t^{1/2}v∝t1/2

  7. Now displacement is x=∫v dt∝∫t1/2dtx = \int v\,dt \propto \int t^{1/2} dtx=∫vdt∝∫t1/2dt x∝t3/2x \propto t^{3/2}x∝t3/2

  8. Therefore, displacement is proportional to t3/2\boxed{t^{3/2}}t3/2​

  9. Option check:

    • A: t2/3t^{2/3}t2/3 ❌
    • B: t3/2t^{3/2}t3/2 ✅
    • C: ttt ❌
    • D: t2t^2t2 ❌

So the correct option is B.
