A uniform cube of mass \(m\) and side \(a\) is placed on a frictionless horizontal surface. A vertical force \(F\) is applied to the edge as shown in the figure. Match the following (most appropriate choice).

| List- I | List- II | ||
| (a) | \(mg/4<F<mg/2\) | (i) | cube will move up. |
| (b) | \(F>mg/2\) | (ii) | cube will not exhibit motion. |
| (c) | \(F>mg\) | (iii) | cube will begin to rotate and slip at \(A\). |
| (d) | \(F=mg/4\) | (iv) | normal reaction effectively at \(a/3\) from \(A\), no motion. |
| 1. | a - (i), b - (iv), c - (ii), d - (iii) |
| 2. | a - (ii), b - (iii), c - (i), d - (iv) |
| 3. | a - (iii), b - (i), c - (ii), d - (iv) |
| 4. | a - (i), b - (ii), c - (iv), d - (iii) |
