Problem

A train starts from rest and covers 200\,m while accelerating uniformly to 20\,m/s. It then travels another 100\,m at this constant speed and finally comes to rest with uniform retardation in 10\,s. The total time taken for the entire journey is (a) 30 s30\,\text{s} (b) 35 s35\,\text{s} (c) 25 s25\,\text{s} (d) 40 s40\,\text{s}
