A body travels for \(15\) seconds starting from rest with constant acceleration. If it travels distances \(S_1,\ S_2\) and \(S_3\) in the first five seconds, the second five seconds and the next five seconds, respectively, the relation between \(S_1,\ S_2\) and \(S_3\) is:

1. \(𝑆_ 1 = 𝑆 _2 = 𝑆 _3\)
2. \(5𝑆_ 1 =3 𝑆 _2 = 𝑆 _3\)
3. \(𝑆_ 1 = \frac 13 𝑆 _2 = \frac 15 𝑆 _3\)
4. \(𝑆_ 1 =\frac 15 𝑆 _2 = \frac 13 𝑆 _3\)
