21. The displacement x of a particle varies with time t as x = ae–t + bet, where a, b,  and  are positive
constants. The velocity of the particle will [AIPMT (Prelims)-2005]
(1) Go on decreasing with time (2) Be independent of  and 
(3) Drop to zero when  =  (4) Go on increasing with time
Sol. Answer (4)
x  ae t  bet
dx
 a(  ) e t  b () et
dt
v  bet  ae t
As we increase time et increases and e–t decreases.

So, v keeps on increasing with time.
