The position of a moving particle at time \(t\) is \(\vec{r}=3\hat{i}+4t^{2}\hat{j}-t^{3}\hat{k}.\) Its displacement during the time interval \(t=1\) s to \(t=3\) s will be:

1. \(\hat{j}-\hat{k}\) 2. \(3\hat{i}-4\hat{j}-\hat{k}\)
3. \(9\hat{i}+36\hat{j}-27\hat{k}\) 4. \(32\hat{j}-26\hat{k}\)

Three girls skating on a circular ice ground of radius \(200\) m start from a point \(P\) on the edge of the ground and reach a point \(Q\) diametrically opposite to \(P\) following different paths as shown in the figure. The correct relationship among the magnitude of the displacement vector for three girls will be:

      

1.  A>B>C

2. C>A>B

3. B>A>C

4. A=B=C
