Question -

A body start from rest and moves with a constant acceleration . The ratio of distance covered in the nth second to the distance covered in n second is .

Options:
A .  `2/n - 1/n^2`
B .  `1/n^2 - 1/n`
C .  `2/n^2 - 1/n`
D .  `2/n + 1/n^2`
Answer: Option A

Here `s_n = 1/2 an^2`

           `s_nth` = distance travelled in n second - distance travelled in (n - 1) second

                      = `((2n - 1)/(2))a`

`:.`       `s_n/s_nth  = (2n - 1)/(n^2)`

             = `2/n - 1/n^2`
