The displacement $x$ of a particle varies with time $t$ as $x = a{e^{ - \alpha t}} + b{e^{\beta t}}$ , where $a, b, \alpha$ and $\beta $ are positive constants. The velocity of the particle will

  • A

    be independent of $\beta $

  • B

    drop to zero when $\alpha = \beta $

  • C

    go on decreasing with time

  • D

    go on increasing with time
