In the $s-t$ equation $(s=10+20t-5t^2)$,match the following columns.
Column $I$ Column $II$
$(A)$ Distance travelled in $3\,s$ $(p)$ $-20$ units
$(B)$ Displacement in $1\,s$ $(q)$ $15$ units
$(C)$ Initial acceleration $(r)$ $25$ units
$(D)$ Velocity at $4\,s$ $(s)$ $-10$ units

Statement $(I)$: An object subjected to velocities $\overrightarrow{v_1}$ and $\overrightarrow{v_2}$ has a resultant velocity with magnitude $|\vec{v}| = |\overrightarrow{v_1}| + |\overrightarrow{v_2}|$.
Statement $(II)$: The magnitude of displacement is either less than or equal to the path length of an object between two points.
Statement $(III)$: The instantaneous acceleration is the limiting value of the average acceleration as the time interval approaches zero.

$A$ particle of mass $m$ moves on the $x$-axis as follows: it starts from rest at $t = 0$ from the point $x = 0$ and comes to rest at $t = 1$ at the point $x = 1$. No other information is available about its motion at intermediate time $(0 < t < 1)$. If $\alpha$ denotes the instantaneous acceleration of the particle,then
