The north pole of a magnet is falling on a metallic ring as shown in the figure. The direction of induced current, if looked from upside in the ring will be <img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="Question" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/q/nta/p-5x4uyl2tejxd.png" /> (A) anti-clockwise (B) clockwise (C) clockwise or anti-clockwise depending on radius of the ring (D) no induced current

As north pole approaches the ring, flux through ring increases. From Lenz's law magnetic field produced by ring should oppose this change. This happens when current in it flows anti-clockwise direction.
