(N/A) According to Lenz's Law,the induced current will oppose the motion of the magnet. As the North pole $(N)$ of the magnet moves towards the coil,the coil will develop a North pole on its upper face to repel it. Therefore,the direction of the induced current,as seen from the top,will be anticlockwise.
$(b)$ As the North pole $(N)$ of the magnet moves towards the coil,the face of the coil facing the magnet will act as a North pole to oppose the motion. Looking from the right-hand side (where the magnet is approaching),the current will appear to flow in a clockwise direction.
