A wheel of radius `r` rolling on a straight line, the velocity of its centre being `v`. At a certain instant the point of contact of the wheel the ground is `M` and `N` is the highest point on the wheel (diametricaly opposite to `M`). The incorrect statement is -

A

The velocity of any point `P` of the wheel is proportional to `MP`

B

Points of the wheel moving with velocity greater than `v` form a larger area of the wheel than points moving with velocity less than `v`.

C

The point of contact `M` is instantaneously at rest

D

The velocities of any two parts of the wheel which are equildistant from centre are equal.
