A particle of mass

Question:

A particle of mass $m$ is moving along the side of a square of side ' $a$ ', with a uniform speed $v$ in the $x$-y plane as shown in the figure :

Which of the following statement is false for the angular momentum $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{L}}$ about the origin ?

  1. $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{L}}=\frac{\mathrm{mv}}{\sqrt{2}} \mathrm{R} \hat{\mathrm{k}}$ when the particle is moving from $\mathrm{D}$ to $\mathrm{A}$

  2. $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{L}}=-\frac{\mathrm{mv}}{\sqrt{2}} \mathrm{R} \hat{\mathrm{k}}$ when the particle is moving from $\mathrm{A}$ to $\mathrm{B}$

  3. $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{L}}=m v\left[\frac{\mathrm{R}}{\sqrt{2}}-\mathrm{a}\right] \hat{\mathrm{k}}$ when the particle is moving from $\mathrm{C}$ to $\mathrm{D}$

  4. $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{L}}=\mathrm{mv}\left[\frac{\mathrm{R}}{\sqrt{2}}+\mathrm{a}\right] \hat{\mathrm{k}}$ when the particle is moving from $\mathrm{B}$ to $\mathrm{C}$
