Answer:
It is given that a particle covers 10m in first 5s and 10m in next 3s. so using the equation of motion
Case I
s=ut+

20=10u+25a
4=2u+5a..............(1)
Case 2
In next 3s the particle covers more 10m distance. So
20=8u+

a(8)

5=2u+8a.........(2)
On solving equation (1) and (2)
4=2u+5a
5=2u+8a
a=

Put the value of a in equation (1)
u=

m/s
Now to find distance in next 10 s. total time will be 10s
s=

s=28.33m
Distance travelled in next 2 sec
s=28.33−20=8.33m
