Solution
The correct option is C0.2m below O on line OC If instantaneous centre of rotation is P at a distance r from the centric line OC, then from the definition of instantaneous centre of rotation, the velocity of point P should be zero. vp=4−10r=0 r=25m=0.4m So, instantaneous centre of rotation is at distance 0.2 m from O (below O) on line OC.
