(a) When a bar magnet is pushed into the coil, magnetic field lines linked with the coil changes (increases). It causes the electric current to get induced in it. The needle of galvanometer will move momentarily in one direction. 

(b) When a bar magnet is withdrawn from inside the coil, the magnetic field lines linked with the coil changes but in decreasing order. Current will be induced in the coil which will be indicated by deflection of needle in the galvanometer. The deflection is opposite to that in case (a). This indicates that the direction of induced current is now opposite to the direction of induced current in case (a). 

(c) When bar magnet is held stationary inside the coil, there is no deflection in the galvanometer. This is because there is no change in magnetic field lines linked with the coil. Hence, no induced current will flow through the coil.
