The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Distance covered during 0.75 hr. to 1 hr. = Area enclosed under the curve ABC = Area of $\Delta$BGC + Area of rectangle EFGB = $\frac{1}{2} \times $ BG $\times $ GC + EF $\times $ FG = $\frac{1}{2}$(0.25 $\times $ 40 ) + 0.25 $\times $ 20 = 5 + 5 = 10 km

Concepts Used:

Motion in a straight line

The motion in a straight line is an object changes its position with respect to its surroundings with time, then it is called in motion. It is a change in the position of an object over time. It is nothing but linear motion. 

Types of Linear Motion:

Linear motion is also known as the Rectilinear Motion which are of two types:

  1. Uniform linear motion with constant velocity or zero acceleration: If a body travels in a straight line by covering an equal amount of distance in an equal interval of time then it is said to have uniform motion.
  2. Non-Uniform linear motion with variable velocity or non-zero acceleration: Not like the uniform acceleration, the body is said to have a non-uniform motion when the velocity of a body changes by unequal amounts in equal intervals of time. The rate of change of its velocity changes at different points of time during its movement.
