Given below are two statements Statement I : Area under velocity-time graph gives the distance travelled by the body in a given time. Statement II : Area under acceleration-time graph is equal to the change in velocity in the given time. In the light of given statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.

Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is true.

Both Statement I and Statement II are False.

Both Statement I and Statement II are true.

Statement I is correct but Statement II is false.

The velocity of a particle is v = v_0 + gt + Ft^2 . Its position is x = 0 at t = 0; then its displacement after time (t = 1) is:

v 0 + \frac{g}{2} + \frac{F}{3}
