Which of the following four statements is false?

Which of the following statements are correct?
$(a)$ Average speed of a particle in a given time interval is never less than the magnitude of average velocity.
$(b)$ It is possible to have a situation in which $|d\vec{v}/dt| \neq 0$ but $d/dt|\vec{v}| = 0$.
$(c)$ The average velocity of a particle is zero in a time interval. It is possible that the instantaneous velocity is never zero in the interval.
$(d)$ The average velocity of a particle moving on a straight line is zero in a time interval. It is possible that the velocity is never zero in the interval. (Infinite accelerations are not allowed).

Read each statement below carefully and state with reasons and examples,if it is true or false for a particle in one-dimensional motion:
$(a)$ With zero speed at an instant may have non-zero acceleration at that instant.
$(b)$ With zero speed may have non-zero velocity.
$(c)$ With constant speed must have zero acceleration.
$(d)$ With positive value of acceleration must be speeding up.

$A$ person of height $1.6 \ m$ is walking away from a lamp post of height $4 \ m$ along a straight path on the flat ground. The lamp post and the person are always perpendicular to the ground. If the speed of the person is $60 \ cm \ s^{-1}$,the speed of the tip of the person's shadow on the ground with respect to the person is . . . $cm \ s^{-1}$.

$A$ particle moves along the sides $AB, BC, CD$ of a square of side $25 \, m$ with a constant velocity of $15 \, m \, s^{-1}$. Its average velocity is ........ $m \, s^{-1}$.
