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. \(A = B = C\)

A particle is moving on a circular path of radius \(R.\) When the particle moves from point \(A\) to \(B\) (angle \( \theta\)), the ratio of the distance to that of the magnitude of the displacement will be:

         
1. \(\dfrac{\theta}{\sin\frac{\theta}{2}}\)
2. \(\dfrac{\theta}{2\sin\frac{\theta}{2}}\)
3. \(\dfrac{\theta}{2\cos\frac{\theta}{2}}\)
4. \(\dfrac{\theta}{\cos\frac{\theta}{2}}\)

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

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