Solution
The correct options are
A If P is stationary point, then pulse consists of two waves travelling in opposite direction
B If P is moving upwards, then pulse is travelling in positive direction
C If P is moving downwards, then pulse is travelling in negative direction
Option A:
Consider crust as wave-1 and trough as wave-2.
If both waves move in opposite directions, then position of point P will be as it is, it will neither move up nor move down.
Option B:
If the wave moves right side, then P should move upwards.
Option C:
If the wave moves left side, then P should move downwards.
