Solution
The correct option is B 2
When the Moon is between the Earth and the Sun, the bright side of the Moon is facing away from the Earth and the dark side of the Moon face towards the Earth. Hence, the Moon is not visible from the Earth and we say it is a New Moon. Here position P is the New Moon hence, the Sun will be in position 2.
