• A. It induces the same charge on the uncharged body.
• B. It induces an opposite charge on the uncharged body.
• C. The two bodies repel each other.
• D. The two bodies attract each other.

Answer 1

Answer: (B), (D)

The correct options are
B It induces an opposite charge on the uncharged body.
D The two bodies attract each other.

When a charged body is brought near to an uncharged body, it induces an opposite charge on it. Since unlike charges attract each other, the two bodies are attracted to each other.
