A motorist starting a car from rest accelerates uniformly to a speed of $v\, m/s$ in $9\, seconds$. He maintains this speed for another $50\, seconds$ and then applies the brakes and decelerates uniformly to rest. His deceleration is numberically equal to three times his previous acceleration. Then the time during which the deceleration takes place is ..........$s$ :-

  • A
    $3$
  • B
    $9$
  • C
    $27$
  • D
    $6$
