$A$ car starts from rest and travels with uniform acceleration $\alpha$ for some time and then with uniform retardation $\beta$ and comes to rest. If the total travel time of the car is $t$,the maximum velocity attained by it is given by:

  • A
    $\frac{\alpha \beta}{(\alpha + \beta)} t$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{2} \frac{\alpha \beta}{(\alpha + \beta)} t^2$
  • C
    $\frac{\alpha \beta}{(\alpha - \beta)} t$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{2} \frac{\alpha \beta}{(\alpha - \beta)} t^2$
