- A
- B
- C
- D
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation

Let, vector from point \(P\) to point \(S\) be \(\vec{C}\),
\(\Rightarrow \vec{C}=b|\vec{R}| \widehat{R}=b|\vec{R}|\left(\frac{\vec{R}}{|\vec{R}|}\right)=b \vec{R}=b(\vec{Q}-\vec{P})\)
From triangle rule of vector addition,
\(\vec{P}+\vec{C}=\vec{S}\)
\(\vec{P}+b(\vec{Q}-\vec{P})=\vec{S}\)
\(\Rightarrow \vec{S}=(1-b) \vec{P}+b \vec{Q}\)

- Paragraph:
Modern trains are based on Maglev technology in which trains are magnetically leviated, which runs its EDS Maglev system.
There are coils on both sides of wheels. Due to motion of train, current induces in the coil of track which levitate it. This is in accordance with Lenz's law. If trains lower down then due to Lenz's law a repulsive force increases due to which train gets uplifted and if it goes much high then there is a net downward force disc to gravity. The advantage of Maglev train is that there is no friction between the train and the track, thereby reducing power consumption and enabling the train to attain very high speeds.
Disadvantage of Maglev train is that as it slows down the electromagnetic forces decreases and it becomes difficult to keep it leviated and as it moves forward according to Lenz law, there is an electromagnetic drag force.
