Question Explanation: The question asks for the final position of the image of object O after
light undergoes refraction through a convex lens, reflection from a concave mirror, and a final
refraction back through the lens.

Concept: Lens Formula, Mirror Formula, Sign Convention, Combination of Lens and Mirror.
Solution :
First Refraction through the Lens

Using lens formula :

v1 = +60 cm (60 cm to the right of the lens).

Reflection from the Concave Mirror

Object distance for mirror .
Since the object is at the Center of Curvature (u2 = R = 40 cm), the reflected image (v2) will
form at the same point:
v2 = – 40 cm
(40 cm to the left of the mirror, which is 60 cm to the right of the lens).

Second Refraction through the Lens (Returning light)

By principle of reversibility, if the light retraces its path from u3 = 60 cm, it will converge back
at the original object position.
v3 = –30 cm (30 cm to the left of the lens).

Final Answer: Option (4)

(Q) For converging mirror (concave mirror)

u = – x, f = – , v=y

Explain the question: Identify the count of physically permissible sets of four quantum
numbers (n, ℓ, m, s).

Concept: Quantum number constraints: n > 0, 0 ≤ ℓ < n, |m| ≤ ℓ and s = ±1/2.

Solution:
Each set is evaluated against established quantum mechanical rules. Sets (b) and (d) are
invalid because the azimuthal quantum number ℓ is equal to the principal quantum number n,
violating the rule ℓ ≤ n – 1.
Specifically, set (b) has n = 2, ℓ = 2 and set (d) has n = 3, ℓ = 3. The other six sets satisfy all
hierarchical constraints: (a) represents a 3d orbital electron, (c) a 4f orbital electron, (e) and
(f) two 1s electrons with opposite spins, (g) a 2s electron, and (h) a 2p electron.
These follow the rules n ≥ 1 (integer), ℓ∈[0, n – 1], m∈[–ℓ, +ℓ] and s = ±1/2.

Stmt 2: . Discriminant D = 16 – 36 < 0, so f'(x) > 0 always. Cubic functions

have range . (Bijective)

Stmt 3: . This is a hyperbola. It is one-one and its range is ,

which matches the codomain. (Bijective)

Stmt 4: . This is a bounded function. Range is , which is not . (Not

 Question Explanation: Verifying if f(x) and g(x) are inverse functions.

Concept: Composite functions and Inverse properties.

Solution:
A statement is true if the composition f(g(x)) = x within the defined domain. This occurs when
g(x) is the inverse of f(x). We substitute g(x) into f(x) for each option to verify the identity.

(A) true

(B) true

(C) . (True)
(D) . (True)

Final Answer: 1, 2, 3, 4 (All are true)

45) Solution:
f(x) = sin6x + cos6x
f(x) = 1 – 3 sin2x cos2x

f(x) = 1 – sin2 2x
as sin22x ∈ [0, 1]

∴ f(x) ∈
f(x) ≠ 0 (So, f(x) = 0 has no solution)
& f(x) is a many one function

Final Answer:
option (2) & (3)

Question Explanation: Solve the inverse trigonometric equation for the variable x.

Concept: Properties of Inverse Trigonometric Functions.

Solution:

⇒
⇒ or
⇒ 25 – 9x2 = 16 + 9 - 9x2 +
⇒ x = ±1
So, x = 0, ±1

Final Answer: Roots are 0,1,−1. Options (1), (2), and (3) are correct.

47) By seeing graph of ax2 + bx + c = y

c > 0 and b > 0
So ans is (B) and (C).

Solution:
22x – 8 × 2x = – 12
⇒ (2x)2 – 8 × 2x = –12
putting 2x = t
⇒ t2 – 8t + 12 = 0
⇒ t = 6, t = 2
⇒ 2x = 6, 2x = 2
⇒ x = log2 6, x = 1
⇒ x = log2(2×3) = 1 + log23

⇒x=

So, x = ,1
Final Answer: Option (1) and (4)

To find h(f(g(−2))), we work from the inside out. First, determine which branch of the
piecewise function g(x) to use based on the input −2. Then, plug that result into f(x). Finally,
use the resulting value to select the correct branch of h(x) and calculate the final result.

A. Find g(−2): Since −2<1, we use the branch g(x)=2x+3. g(−2)=2(−2)+3=−4+3=−1.

B. Find f(g(−2))=f(−1): Using f(x)=3x+4: f(−1)=3(−1)+4=−3+4=1.

C. Find h(f(g(−2)))=h(1): Since 1<2, we use the branch h(x)=5−x. h(1)=5−1=4.

Final Answer: 4

The equation is x2 - 4 = [x]. We look for the intersection points of the parabola y = x2 - 4 and
the step function y = [x]. Since , we can bound the possible values of x to find where the
two curves meet.
