Solution:

When the north pole of the magnet is brought towards one end of the coil, the induced current flows in the coil in such a direction that the end of the coil near the magnet becomes a north pole which repels the magnet and opposes the motion of the north pole of the magnet towards the coil, thus direction of induced current is anticlockwise.
