Figure shows two identical particles 1 and 2, each of mass m, moving in opposite directions with same speed v along parallel lines. At a particular instant, r1 and r2 are their respective position vectors drawn from point A which is in the plane of the parallel lines.
Choose the correct options:
(a) Angular momentum l1 of particle 1 about A is I = mvd1
(b) Angular momentum l2 of particle 2 about A is l2= mvr2
(c) Total angular momentum of the system about A is l= mv(r1+r2)
(d) Total angular momentum of the system about A is l = mv(d2-d1)⊗ represents a unit vector coming out of the page. ⊗ represents a unit vector going into the page.

(a), (b)As we know L= r p where r is position vector and p is the linear momentum . the direction of L is perpendicular to both r and p by right hand rule.
For particle 1
I1=r1mv is out of the plane of the paper and perpendicu

(a), (c) For general rotational motion where axis of rotation is not symmetric . angular momentum L and angular velocity w need not be parallel. For general translational motion momentum p=mv hence p and v are always parallel.
