a
Instantaneous torque about the point in contact with the floor is proportional to sinθ
b
The trajectory of the point A is a parabola
c
The midpoint of the bar will fall vertically downward
d
When the bar makes an angle θ with the vertical, the displacement of its midpoint from the initial position is proportional to 1−cosθ.
answer is A.

Detailed Solution
rB=mgℓ2sinθ⇒ Option [A] is correct. [B] Coordinates of point A , x=L2sinθ and y=Lcosθ⇒2xL2+yL2=1 This represents ellipse. Since, there is no external force in horizontal direction, option [C] is correct. ΔXcom=ℓ2−ℓ2cosθ=ℓ2(1−cosθ)⇒ Option [D] is correct.
