  1. A zero
  2. B \(A\)
  3. C \(2 A\)
  4. D \(4 \mathrm{~A}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(4 \mathrm{~A}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The motion of particle in one oscillation is shown below In moving from \(O \rightarrow P\) distance moved is \(A\). Similarly, for \(P \rightarrow Q, Q \rightarrow R\) and \(R \rightarrow S\), distance moved is \(A\) in each case. \(\therefore\) Total distance moved in one…
