A frictionless circular wire of unit radius is fixed on the horizontal plane. Two point particles of unit mass start moving simultaneously from point $\displaystyle A\left(\theta=\frac{\pi}{2}\right)$ with identical uniform angular speeds in opposite directions, and meet again at point $\displaystyle B\left(\theta=-\frac{\pi}{2}\right)$. During this time, which of the following figures schematically represent the magnitude of the total linear momentum $\displaystyle P$ of the system, as a function of $\displaystyle \theta$ ?
