Dust particles are removed when we beat a carpet with a stick because the carpet is suddenly
set into motion, but the dust particles remains at rest due to inertia.
The mangoes fall down, when we shake a mango tree, due to the fact that shaking brings the branches of the tree in motion while mangoes tend to be at rest due to inertia.
Similarly, passengers are in inertia of motion when vehicle is stopped suddenly. So, they fall forward.
So, all statements are correct for examples of inertia.
