A particle starting from rest and moving with a uniform acceleration along a straight line covers distances $a$ and $b$ in successive intervals of $p$ and $q$ second. The acceleration of the particle is

  • A

    $\frac{a+b}{2(p+q)}$

  • B

    $\frac{2 b}{(q+2 p) q}$

  • C

    $\frac{2 a}{p(p+2 p)}$

  • D

    $\frac{a+b}{(p+q)^2}$
