A particle starts from the origin at time \(t=0 \) with an initial velocity of \(5\hat{j}~\text{ms}^{-1}. \) It moves in the \(XY \text-\)plane under a constant acceleration of \(\left(10\hat{i}+4\hat{j}\right)~\text{ms}^{-2} .\) At some later time \(t,\) the coordinates of the particle are \((20~\text{m}, y_0~\text{m}). \) The values of \(t \) and \(y_0 \)​ are, respectively:
1. \(4~\text{s}\) and \(52~\text{m}\)
2. \(5~\text{s}\) and \(25~\text{m}\)
