$A$ vehicle starts moving in a straight line with an acceleration $a = 4 \,m/s^2$, with initial velocity equal to zero. After accelerating for time $t_1$, the vehicle moves uniformly for time $t_2$, and finally decelerates for time $t_1$, eventually coming to a stop. The total time taken during the motion is $10 \,s$ and the average velocity during the motion is $5.1 \,m/s$. The time taken by the vehicle during acceleration is (in $\,s$)

  • A
    $2$
  • B
    $2.5$
  • C
    $1.5$
  • D
    $1.8$
