How to calculate speed using light gate?

For of the distance between two stations, a train is uniformly accelerated then moves with uniform velocity for some time and for of the distance, it is uniformly retarded. It starts from rest at one station and comes to rest at another station. Find the ratio of its maximum velocity to its average velocity.

A particle starts from rest with zero initial acceleration. The acceleration increases uniformly with time.Find the time average and distance average of velocity up to a certain instant when the velocity becomes .

For a moving particle, which of the following options may be correct ?
Here, is average velocity and the average speed.

Starting from rest a particle is first accelerated for time with constant acceleration and then stops in time with constant retardation . let be the average velocity in this case and the total displacement. In the second case it is accelerating for the same time with constant acceleration and come to rest with constant retardation in time . If is the average velocity in this case and the total displacement, then

A body moving along a straight line travels one third of the total distance with a speed of . The remaining distance is covered with a speed of for half the time and for the other half of the time. The average speed during the motion is
