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

  • A
    Go on decreasing with time
  • B
    Be independent of $\alpha$ and $\beta$
  • C
    Drop to zero when $\alpha = \beta$
  • D
    Go on increasing with time
