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. \(A = B = C\)
If two projectiles, with the same masses and with the same velocities, are thrown at an angle \(60^\circ\) and \(30^\circ\) with the horizontal, then which of the following quantities will remain the same?

| 2. | horizontal range of projectile |
| 3. | maximum height acquired |
| 4. | all of the above |
Two particles having mass \(M\) and \(m\) are moving in a circular path having radius \(R\) & \(r\) respectively. If their time periods are the same, then the ratio of angular velocities will be:
1. \(\dfrac{r}{R}\)
2. \(\dfrac{R}{r}\)
3. \(1\)
4. \(\sqrt{\dfrac{R}{r}}\)
An insect trapped in a circular groove of radius \(12~\text{cm}\) moves along the groove steadily and completes \(7\) revolutions in \(100~\text{s}.\) What is the angular speed of the motion?

4. \(0.44~\text{rad/s}\)
A cat is situated at point \(A\) (\(0,3,4\)) and a rat is situated at point \(B\) (\(5,3,-8\)). The cat is free to move but the rat is always at rest. The minimum distance travelled by the cat to catch the rat is:
1. \(5\) unit
2. \(12\) unit
3. \(13\) unit
4. \(17\) unit
The position of a moving particle at time \(t\) is \(\overrightarrow{r}=3\hat{i}+4t^{2}\hat{j}-t^{3}\hat{k}.\) Its displacement during the time interval \(t=1\) s to \(t=3\) s will be:
