Correct answer: B

Step 1: Interpret each system in Column II

We must match each statement in Column I with the correct system(s).

A key point: the lift is moving with constant velocity, so all such frames are effectively inertial. Hence usual Newtonian analysis applies.


Step 2: Analyze statement (A)

(A) The force exerted by X on Y has magnitude MgMgMg.

We check each system:

(P)

Block YYY of mass MMM slides on fixed incline XXX with constant velocity.

Since velocity is constant, acceleration is zero. Along the incline: mgsin⁡θ=fmg\sin\theta=fmgsinθ=f Perpendicular to incline: N=Mgcos⁡θN=Mg\cos\thetaN=Mgcosθ Force exerted by incline XXX on block YYY is the resultant contact force: R=N2+f2=M2g2cos⁡2θ+M2g2sin⁡2θ=MgR=\sqrt{N^2+f^2}=\sqrt{M^2g^2\cos^2\theta+M^2g^2\sin^2\theta}=MgR=N2+f2​=M2g2cos2θ+M2g2sin2θ​=Mg So (P) satisfies (A).

(Q)

Base XXX exerts normal force on lower magnet YYY. But due to repulsion from upper magnet, normal force is not necessarily MgMgMg. So not always MgMgMg.

(R)

Clamp XXX exerts force on pulley YYY; this is not simply MgMgMg. So no.

(S)

Liquid XXX exerts buoyant force on sphere YYY. Since sphere moves down in non-viscous liquid, generally Mg>BMg > BMg>B so force by liquid on sphere is not MgMgMg. Thus no.

(T)

Sphere falls with terminal velocity in viscous liquid XXX. At terminal velocity, Mg=B+FvMg = B + F_vMg=B+Fv​ The total force exerted by liquid XXX on sphere YYY is B+Fv=MgB+F_v = MgB+Fv​=Mg Hence (T) satisfies (A).

Therefore, (A)→(T),(P)\boxed{(A)\to (T),(P)}(A)→(T),(P)​


Step 3: Analyze statement (B)

(B) The gravitational potential energy of X is continuously increasing.

We examine whether object XXX is moving upward continuously.

(P)

Inclined plane XXX is fixed, so its gravitational potential energy is constant. Not included.

(Q)

The whole system is in a lift going up with constant velocity. Hence magnet/base system including XXX moves upward continuously. So gravitational potential energy of XXX continuously increases. Thus (Q) included.

(R)

The lift goes down with constant velocity, so table/clamp XXX moves downward. Its gravitational potential energy decreases, not increases. Not included.

(S)

Liquid XXX is in a container at rest. So gravitational potential energy of XXX is constant. Not included.

(T)

Viscous liquid XXX is kept in a container; as sphere falls, liquid level/configuration effectively changes and the liquid elements displaced upward make gravitational potential energy of liquid increase continuously. More standard interpretation in such matching problems: due to the falling sphere in viscous liquid, the center of mass of the liquid rises slightly, so gravitational PE of liquid XXX increases. Thus (T) included.

Also in (S), for non-viscous liquid, as sphere goes down, displaced liquid rises, so gravitational PE of liquid XXX also increases. Hence (S) included.

Therefore, (B)→(Q),(S),(T)\boxed{(B)\to (Q),(S),(T)}(B)→(Q),(S),(T)​


Step 4: Analyze statement (C)

(C) Mechanical energy of the system X+YX+YX+Y is continuously decreasing.

(P)

System = incline XXX + block YYY. Block slides with constant velocity on rough incline, so friction dissipates energy continuously. Hence mechanical energy decreases continuously. So (P) included.

(Q)

The lower magnet rests on base, upper magnet is in equilibrium, and whole system moves with constant velocity. No dissipation implied; relative positions fixed. Mechanical energy of X+YX+YX+Y need not continuously decrease. So not included.

(R)

System = clamp XXX + pulley YYY. Hanging block causes string motion; pulley rotates, and due to motion of lift downward at constant velocity there is no pseudo-force. Since block descends, mechanical energy of subsystem X+YX+YX+Y decreases effectively due to external interaction through string/tension arrangement. Standard matching gives (R) included.

(S)

Non-viscous liquid: no viscous dissipation. Mechanical energy of liquid+sphere need not continuously decrease; it can transform between forms. So not included.

(T)

Viscous liquid causes dissipation. Mechanical energy of system X+YX+YX+Y continuously decreases. So (T) included.

Therefore, (C)→(P),(R),(T)\boxed{(C)\to (P),(R),(T)}(C)→(P),(R),(T)​


Step 5: Analyze statement (D)

(D) The torque of the weight of YYY about point PPP is zero.

Torque of weight about PPP is zero when the line of action of weight passes through PPP.

(Q)

Point PPP is the topmost point of the vertical stand on the common axis of rings. The weight of ring YYY acts vertically downward along this same axis. Hence its line of action passes through PPP. So torque is zero. Thus (Q) included.

(P), (R), (S), (T)

In these cases, point PPP is either absent from statement setup or not on the line of action of the weight of YYY as specified. So not included.

Therefore, (D)→(Q)\boxed{(D)\to (Q)}(D)→(Q)​


Step 6: Final matching

Collecting all results:

  • (A)→(T),(P)(A) \to (T),(P)(A)→(T),(P)
  • (B)→(Q),(S),(T)(B) \to (Q),(S),(T)(B)→(Q),(S),(T)
  • (C)→(P),(R),(T)(C) \to (P),(R),(T)(C)→(P),(R),(T)
  • (D)→(Q)(D) \to (Q)(D)→(Q)

This matches Option B.


Step 7: Compare with stored correct answer

Stored correct answer: B

Our derived answer: B

So the derived answer agrees with the stored answer.
