JEE Main 10 April 2023, Shift 1, Physics Q38

Question 38 of 90 in this shift, Physics question 8 of 30, Section A.

The position-time graphs for two students A and B returning from the school to their homes are shown in figure. (A) A lives closer to the school (B) B lives closer to the school (C) A takes lesser time to reach home (D) A travels faster than B (E) B travels faster than A Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

The figure, in words

x-t graph (x vertical, t horizontal, origin O): two straight lines. Line A starts at O and rises with a smaller slope; line B starts on the t-axis at a point to the right of O and rises more steeply, crossing line A; B's line extends higher than A's at the top.
