As we learnt in

Introduction to Differentiation -

frac{d}{dx}left ( x^{n} ight )={n} x^{n-1}
 

- wherein

frac{d}{dx}left ( x^{5} ight )=left ( n=5 ight )

Rightarrow {n}x^{n-1}

Rightarrow {5}x^{5-1}

Rightarrow {5}x^{4}

 

 

 

x=8+12t-t^{3}

v=\frac{dx}{dt}=12-3t^{2}

Put v=0            3t^{2}=12,            t=2 \sec

a=-6 \times 2=-12m/s^{2}

Retardation = 12m/s^{2}

Correct option is 4.
