Position of an ant ($S$ in metres) moving in $Y-Z$ plane is given by $S = 2t^2 \hat{j} + 5 \hat{k}$ (where $t$ is in seconds). The magnitude and direction of velocity of the ant at $t = 1 \ s$ will be:

  • A
    $16 \ m/s$ in $y$-direction
  • B
    $4 \ m/s$ in $x$-direction
  • C
    $9 \ m/s$ in $z$-direction
  • D
    $4 \ m/s$ in $y$-direction
