A simple pendulum hangs from the roof of a train. The string is inclined towards the rear of the train. What is the nature of motion of the train?

    A) Uniform    B) Accelerated

C) Retarded    D) At rest

Hello,

The train is accelerated. This is why the ball hanging from the roof of the train inclines towards the rear of the train. The behavior of the ball is explained by the law of inertia. The ball tries to be at rest when the train together with the rope is moving forward.

Thumbs up to Prakhar from expert's side for his correct answer.
