$A$ car accelerates from rest at a constant rate $\alpha$ for some time after which it decelerates at a constant rate $\beta$ to come to rest. If the total time elapsed is $t$ seconds,the total distance travelled is

  • A
    $\frac{4 \alpha \beta}{(\alpha+\beta)} t ^{2}$
  • B
    $\frac{2 \alpha \beta}{(\alpha+\beta)} t ^{2}$
  • C
    $\frac{\alpha \beta}{2(\alpha+\beta)} t ^{2}$
  • D
    $\frac{\alpha \beta}{4(\alpha+\beta)} t ^{2}$
