Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (D)

The correct options are
A
Motion of coins on a carrom board.
B
Movement of an ant.
D

Motion of a bus on hill station road.
If a body in translatory motion moves along a curved path, then motion is called curvilinear motion.
Movement of an ant, motion of coins on a carrom board and motion of bus on the hill station are the examples of curvilinear motion. But ball in a straight pipe will always move in a straight line, so it is an example of rectilinear motion.
