Solution

The correct options are
A forward and gaining speed.
C backward and losing speed
From the frame of reference of train, a pseudo force on coin must act in backward direction for it to move behind, which is possible only when the train is moving forward and gaining speed and also when the train is moving backward and losing speed.Therefore $(A)$ and $(C)$
