As we learnt in

Impulse -

vec{I}=int_{t_{1}}^{t_{2}}vec{F}cdot dt

astleft [ MLT^{-1} ight ]

- wherein

 

 

 

Area of F-t graph gives change in momentum

For 0 to 2 sec

\Delta P_{1}=\frac{1}{2}\times2\times 6=6kg-m/s

For 2-4

\Delta P_{2}=2\times(-3)=-6kg-m/s

\Delta P_{3}=4\times 3=12kg-m/s

Total change in momentum 0 to 8 sec

\Delta P_{net}=\Delta\: P_{1}+\Delta\: P_{2}+\Delta\: P_{3}

=6-6+12=12N-s

Correct option is 3.
