A
the coin reaches again in your hand
B
the coin falls in front of you
C
the coin follows a circular path
D
the coin falls behind you
Solution
Verified by Toppr

At t=0
Velocity of train=v
Velocity of coin=v(horizontal velocity in the direction of velocity of train)
at t=t
Velocity of train=v-Δ v
Velocity of coin=v
Distance traveled by train after retarding=(v-Δv)t
When coin is thrown up it gains the velocity of train in the forward direction
Distance traveled by coin=v×t which is greater than distance traveled by train.
So,the coin will fall in-front of you.
