When a slider moves on a fixed link having curved surface, their instantaneous centre lies

A on their point of contact
B at the centre of curvature
C at the centre of circle
D at the pin joint

Correct Answer: at the centre of curvature

When a slider moves on a fixed link having curved surface, their instantaneous centre lies at the centre of curvature. When a slider moves on a fixed link having straight surface their instantaneous center lies at infinity.
