1. \(3:1\)
2. \(2:1\)
3. \(1:1\)

An equi-convex lens of focal length \(50~\text{cm}\) and an equi-concave lens of the same focal length are placed \(50~\text{cm}\) apart, with a common principal axis. A point object is placed on the principal axis of the system, at a distance of \(100~\text{cm}\) in front of the convex lens (see figure). The final image is formed at:
            
1. \(100~\text{cm}\) in front of the concave lens
2. \(50~\text{cm}\) in front of the concave lens
3. \(50~\text{cm}\) behind the concave lens

Two identical equilateral triangular prisms, each of which gives a minimum deviation of \(60^{\circ}\) are taken: call these prisms \(A,B\). These are placed as shown in the figure, and a ray of light is incident on prism \(A\) at minimum deviation. Now prism \(B\) is cut in half, along the dotted line, and the right half is removed. The deviation of the emerging ray is:
           
1. \(90^{\circ}\) 2. \(45^{\circ}\)
3. \(60^{\circ}\) 4. \(30^{\circ}\)

An empty cylindrical beaker whose height is equal to its diameter is kept on a table. An observer's eye\((E)\) looking towards \(S\) (line of sight: \(ES\)) can see the point \(Q\) on the lower right. The angle of view, \(\theta,\) is the angle the line of sight \(ES,\) makes with the vertical \(RS\)-extended. A transparent liquid is now slowly poured into the beaker. As the liquid level rises in the beaker, the line of sight has to be continually adjusted (by increasing angle \(\theta\)) in order to keep \(Q\) visible. When the liquid fills the beaker to the brim, \(Q\) can no more be seen by adjusting the line of sight \(ES. \) The minimum refractive index of the liquid should be:
1. \(\dfrac32\) 2. \(2\)
3. \(\sqrt{\dfrac32} \) 4. \(\sqrt2\)

Assume that the corner of \(O\) of the room is the origin, and the axes \(x,y,z\) are along the edges. The three walls meeting orthogonally at \(O\) are perfect mirrors. A ray of light travelling parallel to the vector \(-(\hat i+2\hat j+\hat k)\) is incident on the \(y\text-z\) mirror (wall). The emerging ray, after all reflections, will be along:
1. \(\hat i-2\hat j-\hat k\)
2. \(\hat i+\hat k-2\hat j\)
3. \(-\hat i+2\hat j+\hat k\)
4. \(\hat i+2\hat j+\hat k\)

3. either from the surface \(BC\) or \(AC,\) normally.
4. either from the surface \(BC\) or \(AC,\) at an angle of emergence greater than \(60^{\circ}\) but less than \(90^{\circ}.\)
