The distance between two parallel lines is unity. A point P lies between the lines at a distance a from one of them. Find the length of a side of an equilateral triangle PQR vertex Q of which lies on one of the parallel lines and vertex R lies on the other line.

A large squre container with thin transparent vertical walls and filled with water ( refractive index (4)/(3) ) is kept on a horizontal table . A student holds a thin straight wire vertically inside the water 12cm from one of its corners, as shown schematically in the figure . Looking at the inside the water 12 cm from one of its corners, as shown schematically in the figure . Looking at the wire from this corner, another student sees two images of the wire , located symmetrically on each side of the line of sight as shown. THe separation (in cm) between these images is _______ .

State which of the following statements are true (T) and which false (F): Point has a size because we can see it as a thick dot on paper. By lines in geometry, we mean only straight lines. Two lines in a place always intersect in a point. Any plane through a vertical line is vertical. Any plane through a horizontal line is horizontal. There cannot be a horizontal line is a vertical plane. All lines in a horizontal plane are horizontal. Two lines in a plane always intersect in a point. If two lines intersect at a point P , then P is called the point of concurrence of the two lines. If two lines intersect at a point p , then p is called the point of intersection of the two lines. If A , B , C a n d D are collinear points D , P a n d Q are collinear, then points A , B , C , D , P a n d Q and always collinear. Two different lines can be drawn passing through two given points. Through a given point only one line can be drawn. Four points are collinear if any three of them lie on the same line. The maximum number of points of intersection of three lines in three. The minimum matching of the statements of column A and Column B .

Which of the following equation represents the motion of a body moving with constant finite acceleration ? In these equation, y denotes the displacement in time t and p.q and r the arbitary constants ?

Two poles are placed at P and Q on either side of a road such that the line joining P and Q is perpendicular to the length of the road. A person moves x metre away from P parallel to the road and places another pole at R. Then the person moves further x metre in the same direction and turns and moves a distance y metre away from the road perpendicularly, where he finds himself, Q and R on the same line. The distance between P and Q (i.e., the width of the road) in metre is

State the following statements as TRUE or FALSE. a. A convex mirror cannot from a real image for a real object. b. The image formed by a convex mirror is always diminished and erect. c. Virtual image formed by a concave mirror is always enlarged. d. Only in the case of a concave mirror, it may happen that the object and its image move in same direction. e. In the case of a concave mirror, the image always move faster than the object. f. If an object is placed in front of a diverging mirror at a distance equal to its focal length, then the height of image formed is half of the height of object. g. For two positions of an object , a concave mirror can form englarged image. h. Concave mirror is used as a rear view mirror in motor vehicles. i. If some portion of the mirror ois covered, then complete image will be formed but of reduced brightness. j. A plane mirror always forms an erect iamge of same size as that of the object. k. The image formed by a plane mirror has left-right reversal. l. A virtual object means a converging beam.
