Velocity #v(ms^-1)# satisfies #3.16<= v<= 3.78# and b) is the best answer.

Explanation:

Calculating the upper and lower bound helps you in this type of problem.

If the body travels the longest distance (#14.0 m#) in the shortest
time (#3.7 s#), the velocity is maximized. This is the upper bound
of the velocity #v_max#

#v_max# = #(14.0 (m))/(3.7 (s))# = #3.78(ms^-1)#.

Simirally, the lower bound of the velocity #v_min# is obtained as
#v_min# = #(13.6 (m))/(4.3 (s))# = #3.16(ms^-1)#.

Therefore, the velocity #v# stands between #3.16(ms^-1)# and #3.78(ms^-1)#. Choice b) fits this best.

Option (b)
#(3.45+-0.30)m/s#

Explanation:

if the Quantity is defined as #x=a/b#
let #Deltaa= "Absolute error for a"#
#Deltab= "Absolute error for b"#
#Deltax= "Absolute error for x" #
then The Maximum Possible Relative Error in x is
#(Deltax)/x=+-[(Deltaa)/a+(Deltab)/b]#

Now
Distance #=(13.8+-0.2)m#
#s=13.8 m# and #Delta s=0.2m#
Time #=(4.0+-0.3)m#
#t=4.0 m# and #Delta t=0.3m#

Velocity of Body Within error Limit is #v+Deltav#
Now #"velocity"="Distance"/"time"#
#v=s/t=13.8/4=3.45 m/s#

and Relative error in Velocity
#(Deltav)/v=+-[(Deltas)/s+(Deltat)/t]#
#(Deltav)/v=+-[(0.2)/13.8+(0.3)/4]=0.014+0.075=0.089#
Absolute Error in Velocity
#Deltav=0.089xxv=0.089xx3.45=0.307 m/s#

Hence

Velocity of Body Within error Limit is
#v+Deltav=(3.45+-0.30)m/s#

Option (b)

Hope You gets your answer.
