The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the concepts of motion and rest in the context of different frames of reference. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Motion and Rest**: - Motion is defined relative to a frame of reference. An object is said to be in motion if its position changes with respect to a particular observer or frame of reference. - Conversely, an object is at rest if its position remains constant with respect to an observer or frame of reference. 2. **Identifying the Observers**: - In this scenario, we have three entities: A, B, and C. - A claims that B is in motion, while C claims that B is at rest. 3. **Frames of Reference**: - For A to say that B is in motion, A must be in a different frame of reference than B. - For C to say that B is at rest, C must be in the same frame of reference as B. 4. **Possible Situations**: - If B is moving relative to A (for example, if A is standing still on the ground while B is moving in a vehicle), then A will observe B as being in motion. - If C is also in the same vehicle as B, then C will observe B as being at rest since they are moving together. 5. **Conclusion**: - Yes, it is possible for A to say that B is in motion while C says that B is at rest. This is due to the fact that motion and rest are relative concepts that depend on the observer's frame of reference. ### Final Answer: Yes, it is possible for A to say that B is in motion while C says that B is at rest, depending on their respective frames of reference. ---
