A reference frame attached to the earth

non-inertial frames are the accelerating frames and ∵ the earth is revolving around the sun and rotating around the axis, earth is a non-inertial frame.


And hence option B and D are the correct

A person standing on the floor of an elevator drops a coin. The coin reaches the floor of the elevator in a time t1 if the elevator is stationary and in time t2 if it is moving uniformly. Then

A free 238U nucleus kept in a train emits an alpha particle. When the train is stationary, a nucleus decays and a passenger measures that the separation between the alpha particle and the recoiling nucleus becomes x at time t after the decay. If the decay takes place while the train is moving at a uniform velocity u, the distance between the alpha particle and the recoiling nucleus at a time after the decay as measured by the passenger

A particle stays at rest as seen in a frame. We can conclude that

A particle is found to be at rest when seen from a frame S1 and moving with a constant velocity when seen from another frame S2. Mark out the possible options.
