Solution
The coil is moved in the direction of the arrow. This means that the coil moves away from the magnet. So, in the near end, an opposite pole, i.e., the South pole will be induced.
So, when looked into from the end B, the current in the coil will be clock-wise. And, when looked into from the end A, the current in the coil will be counter clock-wise.
