As we learnt in

Rotational angular momentum -

\vec{L}= I\vec{w}

 

- wherein

I = Moment of inertia about fixed axis of rotation

w = angular velocity of rotation

 

 

 First - increases (towards the centre)

then - decreases (away from the centre)

We know that v=\omega\ r

\omega\ \alpha \;\frac{1}{r}

Ans. 4

Option 2)

This is an incorrect option.

Option 3)

continuously increases

This is an incorrect option.

Option 4)
