(ALL OF THE ABOVE) The given $x-t$ graph,shown in $(a)$,does not represent one-dimensional motion of the particle. This is because a particle cannot have two positions at the same instant of time.
The given $v-t$ graph,shown in $(b)$,does not represent one-dimensional motion of the particle. This is because a particle can never have two values of velocity at the same instant of time.
The given speed-time graph,shown in $(c)$,does not represent one-dimensional motion of the particle. This is because speed is a scalar quantity and cannot be negative.
The given total path length-time graph,shown in $(d)$,does not represent one-dimensional motion of the particle. This is because the total path length (distance) travelled by a particle can never decrease with time.

$A$ car travels from $A$ to $B$ (without changing direction). During the first part of the journey,its average speed is $V_1$,and for the second part of the journey,its average speed is $V_2$. The ratio of the path length of the second part to the path length of the first part is $\sqrt{\frac{V_2}{V_1}}$. In this case,the average speed of the total path is the ....... of the average speeds of both parts. Choose the correct option.
