A particle of mass m moves with a constant velocity along 3 different paths, DE, OA and BC. Which of the following statements is not correct about its angular momentum about point O?
1. | It is zero when it is at A and moving along OA. |

4. | Increases as it moves along the line BC. |
A bob of mass m attached to an inextensible string of length l is suspended from vertical support. The bob rotates in a horizontal circle with an angular speed about the vertical. About the point of suspension.
1. | Angular momentum is conserved |
2. | Angular momentum changes in magnitude but not in the direction |
3. | Angular momentum changes in direction but not in magnitude |
4. | Angular momentum changes both in direction and magnitude |
