Original Khojo Papers practice question — not from a past board paper.
It is a straight line starting at the origin and sloping upwards. The slope gives the acceleration, and the area between the line and the time axis gives the distance travelled.
No citable source has been recorded for this record. Treat it as practice material, not as fact.
A body moving with constant velocity would give a horizontal line instead.
