MCQ
A particle stays at rest as seen in a frame. We can conclude that,
  • A
    The frame is inertial.
  • B
    The frame may be non$-$inertial but there is a non zero resultant force.
  • C
    The frame may be inertial but resultant force on the particle is zero. 
  • $B$ and $C$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$B$ and $C$

Particle will be seen at rest only when frame is inertial and resultant force on particle is zero.
Also, if frame is non inertial $($i.e., accelerated$),$ the particle must also possess the same acceleration in magnitude and direction
i.e., resultant force on the particle must be non zero.
