Solution

The correct option is D Statement 1 is incorrect and statement 2 is correct.
Average velocity of particle moving with constant acceleration in time interval t=t1 to t=t2 is equal to the average velocity in time interval t=(t1+Δt) to t=(t2Δt).
Let the initial velocity at time t=0 be u
For interval t=t1 to t=t2
Velocity at time t=t1 is given by
v1=u+at1
Velocity at time t=t2 is given by
v2=u+at2
Average velocity in the time interval t=t1 to t=t2 is given by
vavg=v1+v22=2u+a(t1+t2)2
For interval t=t1+Δt to t=t2Δt
Velocity at time t=t1+Δt is given by
v1=u+a(t1+Δt)
Velocity at time t=t2Δt is given by
v2=u+a(t2Δt)
Average velocity in the time interval t=t1+Δt to t=t2Δt is given by
vavg=v1+v22=u+a(t1+Δt)+u+a(t2Δt)2=2u+a(t1+t2)2
Hence , statement 1 is incorrect and statement 2 is correct
