1.

IMA of the lever is given as the ratio of distance of applied force from the fulcrum and distance of load from fulcum.

when lever is held at position 3 , the distance of the applied force from fulrum is greatest for the same distance of load from the fulcrum. hence IMA is greatest at position 3

2.

Torque = Force x perpendicular distance

Torque = 200 x 6

Torque = 1200 Nm

Hence clockwise torque is 1200 Nm

hence correct choice is

C) 1200 Nm

4.

Torque = Force x perpendicular distance

Torque = 300 x 1

Torque = 300 Nm

Hence counter-clockwise torque is 300 Nm

hence correct choice is

B) 300 Nm

5.

IMA of the pulley system is 6
