Answer Key / Explanation : (c,d) -

(c,d)

All point in the body, in plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation, revolve in concentric circles. All points lying on the circle of same radius have same speed (and also same magnitude of acceleration) but different directions of velocity

Hence there cannot be two points in the given plane with same velocity or with same acceleration. As mentioned above, points lying on circle of same radius have same speed

Angular speed of body at any instant w.r.t. any point on the body is same by definition
