A particle shows distance-time curve as given in this figure. The maximum instantaneous velocity of the particle is around the point
  1. $B$
  2. $C$
  3. $D$
  4. $A$

Solution

Particle has maximum instantaneous velocity at that point at which its slope is maximum. Therefore, $y_{\max }=\frac{d x}{d t}=$ maximum slope From figure it is obvious that at point $C$, slope is maximum, hence at this point velocity is maximum.
