Three girls skating on a circular ice ground of radius \(200\) m start from a point \(P\) on the edge of the ground and reach a point \(Q\) diametrically opposite to \(P\) following different paths as shown in the figure. The correct relationship among the magnitude of the displacement vector for three girls will be:

      

1. \(A > B > C\)
2. \(C > A > B\)
3. \(B > A > C\)
4. \(A = B = C\)

1. \(5\) unit
2. \(12\) unit
3. \(13\) unit
4. \(17\) unit

A particle is moving such that its position coordinates \((x,y)\) are \((2\) m, \(3\) m) at time \(t=0,\) \((6\) m, \(7\) m) at time \(t=2\) s and \((13\) m, \(14\) m) at time \(t=5\) s. Average velocity vector \((v_{avg})\) from \(t=0\) to \(t=5\) s is:

1. \(\frac{1}{5}\left ( 13\hat{i}+14\hat{j} \right )\) 2. \(\frac{7}{3}\left ( \hat{i}+\hat{j} \right )\)
3. \(2\left ( \hat{i}+\hat{j} \right )\) 4. \(\frac{11}{5}\left ( \hat{i}+\hat{j} \right )\)

Two particles \(A\) and \(B\), move with constant velocities \(\overrightarrow{v_1}\) and \(\overrightarrow{v_2}\). At the initial moment their position vector are \(\overrightarrow {r_1}\) and \(\overrightarrow {r_2}\) respectively. The condition for particles \(A\) and \(B\) for their collision to happen will be:

1. \(\overrightarrow{r_{1  }} . \overrightarrow{v_{1}}   = \overrightarrow{r_{2  }} . \overrightarrow{v_{2}}\) 2. \(\overrightarrow{r_{1}} \times\overrightarrow{v_{1}}   = \overrightarrow{r_{2}} \times \overrightarrow {v_{2}}\)
3. \(\overrightarrow{r_{1}}-\overrightarrow{r_{2}}=\overrightarrow{v_{1}} - \overrightarrow{v_{2}}\) 4. \(\frac{\overrightarrow{r_{1}} - \overrightarrow{r_{2}}}{\left|\overrightarrow{r_{1}} -  \overrightarrow{r_{2}}\right|} =   \frac{\overrightarrow{v_{2}} -  \overrightarrow{v_{1}}}{\left|\overrightarrow{v_{2}} -   \overrightarrow{v_{1}}\right|}\)
