When we placed object at infinity its image is formed at focus and it is highly
diminished. When we placed object just beyond center of curvature its image is formed
between focus and center of curvature which is smaller than object. But when we
place object at center of curvature then image is formed at the same point and that of
same size. This shows that when object is moved from a distant location toward the
center of curvature it remains real and becomes larger.

41) Let Ruchi's present age = 6x

and Suchi's present age = x
ATQ
Sum of their ages = 56
⇒ 6x + x = 56
⇒ 7x = 56 ⇒ x = 8
So Ruchi's present age = 6 × 8 = 48 years
Suchi's present age = x = 8 years
After 6 years required ratio

Loss = 15 % of 2500 = × 2500 = 15 × 25 = ₹ 375 S.P. of cycle = ₹ 2500– ₹ 375 = ₹ 2125

48) Let unit digit = x

tens digit = (12 – x)
Original number = 10(12 – x) + x
= 120 –10x + x
= 120 – 9x
Number obtained by reversing the digits
= 10x + 12 – x
= (9x + 12)
A/Q, 120 – 9x – (9x + 12) = 36
⇒ 120 – 9x – 9x – 12 = 36
⇒ –18x = 36 – 108 = – 72
⇒ x=4
Original number = 120 – 9 × 4 = 84.

49) We know that the diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles.

∴ OA = 8 cm, OB = 6 cm and
∴ AB2 = (OA2 + OB2) = (82 + 62)cm2 = (64 + 36)cm2 = 100 cm2

So, each side = 10 cm
