The displacement x of a particle varies with time $t, x=a{e}^{-\alpha t}+b{e}^{\beta t}$, where $a,b,\alpha \text{\hspace{0.17em}and }\beta$ are positive constants. The velocity of the particle will 

1. Go on decreasing with time
2. Be independent of $\alpha$ and $\beta$
3. Drop to zero when $\alpha$ = $\beta$
4. Go on increasing with time

A car, starting from rest, accelerates at the rate f through a distance S, then continues at a constant speed for time t and then decelerates at the rate $\frac{f}{2}$ to come to rest. If the total distance traversed is 15 S, then,

(2) $S=\frac{1}{4}f{t}^2$

(3) $S=\frac{1}{72}f{t}^2$  

(4) $S=\frac{1}{6}f{t}^2$
