Question

Give below are two statements

Statement I: Area under velocity- time graph gives the distance travelled by the body in a given time.

Statement II: Area under acceleration- time graph is equal to the change in velocity- in the given time.

In the light of given statement, choose the correct answer from the options given below.

For a velocity-time graph, area = ∫v dt This gives displacement. If velocity does not change sign, displacement and distance have the same magnitude; the source treats the stated graph interpretation in that sense. For an acceleration-time graph, area = ∫a dt = Δv So Statement II is true. The official source key marks both statements as true. Hence option A is retained according to the source key.
