In quadrilateral PQMN, ∠PNM = 360 ∘ − 60 ∘ + 90 ∘ + 120 ∘ = 90 ∘

Option (c) is correct.

21.  (A,B,C)

COM of the system is going to be at rest since there is no external force and the initial momentum
was zero.

COM lies at a distance of 2R/3 from center towards right.

Hence displacement of particle = 4R/3

  displacement of sphere = 2R/3

(b) F P = 0 ⇒ a P = 0

C) By momentum conservation, if the sphere move towards right at v/2, then particle will move
towards left at v.

Since the net external force on the system is zero and the linear momentum is also zero, hence the
COM will remain at rest. Minimum PE will occur when all the three charges will become collinear. At
this instant charge C will be at the centroid of the current triangle.
