$A$ point starts moving in a straight line with a certain acceleration. At a time $t$ after the beginning of motion,the acceleration suddenly becomes a retardation of the same value. The time in which the point returns to the initial point is:

  • A
    $\sqrt{2}t$
  • B
    $(2 + \sqrt{2})t$
  • C
    $\frac{t}{\sqrt{2}}$
  • D
    Cannot be predicted unless acceleration is given
