Text Solution

Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
C
Step 1: Identify the graphs from Column I:
(A) indicates a graph with positive net displacement (e.g., moving forward).
(B) indicates a graph with negative net displacement (e.g., moving backward).
(C) indicates a graph where the particle returns to its initial position (zero displacement).
(D) indicates a graph with constant positive acceleration.

Step 2: Analyze the statements in Column II:
I: Net displacement is positive but not zero → Matches A
II: Net displacement is negative, but not zero → Matches B
III: Particle returns to its initial position → Matches C
IV: Acceleration is positive → Matches A

Step 3: Matching:
A → I, IV; B → II; C → III
D is not matched. Therefore, the matching is A-I and IV, B-II, C-III; thus, the answer is C.
