- Must be longitudinal
- May be longitudinal
- Must be transverse
- May be transverse.

Answer
- May be longitudinal
- May be transverse.
Explanation:
Particles in a solid are very close to each other; thus. both longitudinal and transverse waves can travel through it.

Two wires A and B, having identical geometrical construction, are stretched from their natural length by small but equal amount. The Young's modulus of the wires are YA and YB whereas the densities are $\rho_\text{A}>\rho_{\text{B}^+}$ It is given that YA > YB and $\rho_\text{A}>\rho_{\text{B}^+}.$ A transverse signal started at one end takes a time t1 to reach the other end for A and t2 for B.
→- t1 < t2
- t1 = t2
- t1 > t2
- The information is insufficient to find the relation betwee t1 and t2.

A body moving towards a finite body at rest collides with it. It is possible that:
- Both the bodies come to rest.
- Both the bodies move after collision.
- The moving body comes to rest and the stationary body starts moving.
