This is a long answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar
standard equation of a progressive wave is given by
Y=asin(wt-kx+ )
This is travelling along positive x- direction
Given equation is y=5sin(100 )
Comparing with standard equation
(a) amplitude =5m
(b) k=2 =0.4x
wavelength =2 =
(c) w=10
w=2
frequency v= 100 =50Hz
(d) wave velocity
=100 =1000/4
250m/s
(e) y= 5sin(100 )
dy/dt = particle velocity
dy/dt = 5(100 cos[100 ]
for particle velocity amplitude (dy/dt)max which will be for cos[100 ]max=1
so particle velocity amplitude =(dy/dt)max =5(100 ) =550 m/s

The acceleration of wave is g/2. Its speed increases as it moves up. So answer is (2)
Distance between successive compression and rarefaction is λ/2
.
Both points B and G are moving up and are at same distance from equilibrium position at the instant.
Equation of component waves are
y = Asin (ωt – kx) and y = Asin (ωt + kx)
So speed of component wave is (ω/k).
