The position vector of a particle is
r=(acosωt)i+(asinωt)j
The velocity of the particle is

a
parallel to position vector
b
perpendicular to position vector
c
directed towards the origin
d
directed away from the origin

detailed solution

Correct option is B

Given r=(acos⁡ωt)i+(asin⁡ωt)j∴ Velocity v=drdt=(−aωsin⁡ωt)i+(aωcos⁡ωt)jThus the velocity is perpendicular to position vector.
