This is a multiple choice answer as classified in NCERT Exemplar
(a, b, d, e) a) clearly every particle at x will have amplitude =asinkx=fixed
b) for mean position =0
coswt=0
wt= (2n-1)
hence for a fixed of n all particles are having same value of time t= (2n-1)
c) amplitude of all the particles are asinkx which is different for different particles at different values of x
d) the energy is a stationary wave is confined between two nodes.
e) particles at different nodes are always at rest.

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).
