Let u is initial velocity and a is acceleration for the given motion
 
initial velocity for nth second travel is obtained from the formula " v = u+at " by considering time duration t =1
Distance travelled at nth second is obtained from the formula, " S = ut+(1/2)at2 " by considering appropriate initial velocity and time duration t = 1
 
For the 5th second travel, initial velocity u+4a, hence distance S5 travelled in 5th second ,
 
S5 = ( u+4a )+ (1/2)a  = 76   or   u + (9/2)a  = 76 m ..................... (1)
 
For the 10th second travel, initial velocity u+9a, hence distance S10 travelled in 10th second ,
 
S10 = ( u+9a )+ (1/2)a  = 116   or   u + (19/2)a  = 116  m..................... (2)
 
By solving eqn.(1) and eqn.(2),  we get u = 40 m/s   and  a = 8 m/s2
 
Distance S15 travelled in 15th second ,
 
S15 = ( u+14a )+ (1/2)a  =  [40+ (14×8)]+(1/2)×8 = 156 m
 
Distance S travelled in next 5 seconds,  S = (u+15a)×t +(1/2)at2 =  [40+(15×8)]×5 + (1/2)×8×25 = 900 m
