  • A

    If $P$ is stationary point, then pulse consists of two waves travelling in opposite direction

  • B

    If $P$ is moving upwards, then pulse is travelling in positive direction

  • C

    If $P$ is moving downwards, then pulse is travelling in negative direction

  • D

    none of these
