Explanation:
- When a passenger in a moving train tosses a coin and it falls behind him, it means that the motion of the train is accelerated.
- The reason behind this is that when the train is moving with a uniform velocity, the coin thrown by the passenger will also move forward with the same velocity as that of the train.
- But if the train is accelerating, the velocity of the coin will be less than that of the train and hence it will fall behind the passenger.
- This is because of the inertia of the coin, which is at rest relative to the train and hence it resists any change in its state of rest or motion.
- Due to this, when the train accelerates, the coin tends to remain at rest while the train moves forward, causing it to fall behind the passenger.

First of all is the train is in motion so if we toss coin it will not go backwards but directly e comes down in the hand of the person and if a case in which coin is is moved backward then option a is correct
