Two particles $A$ and $B$ start from rest and move for equal time on a straight line. Particle $A$ has an acceleration of $2\,m / s ^2$ for the first half of the total time and $4\,m / s ^2$ for the second half. The particle $B$ has acceleration $4\,m / s ^2$ for the first half and $2\,m / s ^2$ for the second half. Which particle has covered larger distance?

  • A
    $A$
  • B
    $B$
  • C
    Both have covered the same distance
  • D
