A has greater velocity. 

Explanation: 

The slope of distance and time graph gives the velocity. 

Since, 

Velocity = \(\frac{Distance}{Time}\)

The formula for slope of any graph line is the ratio of change in value of y-axis to the change in value of x-axis.

x = t

y = s

so, slope = \(\frac{Δs}{Δt}\)

Thus from the above diagram, if we estimate the change of distance on y-axis to the change of time on x-axis of both A and B, then we will ind that the slope corresponding to A is greater as change in distance in A is more than that of B, if we keep the change in time constant. 

Hence A has higher velocity than B
