The diagram represents a concave mirror, where \(F\) is the principal focus and \(f\) is the focal length. The mirror is used to produce an image of an object.
       
Which of the following statements are correct?
(assume the mirror is parabolic)
(A) Incident rays travelling parallel to the principal axis always pass through \(F\) after reflection.
(B) Incident rays passing through \(F\) always travel parallel to the principal axis after reflection.
(C) The image formed is always inverted.
(D) The image formed is always real.
(E) The image formed is always larger than the object.

Choose the correct option:
1. (A) and (C) only 
2. (C), (D) and (E) only
3. (B) and (D) only
4. (A) and (B) only

An observer is using an astronomical refracting telescope to observe planets in normal adjustment. The focal lengths of the objective and eyepiece used in the telescope construction are \(20​​\text{m}\) and \(2​​\text{cm}\) respectively. Consider the following statements about the telescope:
(a) the distance between the objective and the eyepiece is \(20.02​​\text{m}.\)
(b) the magnification of the telescope is \(-1000\).
(c) the image of the planet is erect and diminished.
(d) the aperture of the eyepiece is smaller than that of the objective.
 
The correct statements are:
1. (a), (b), and (c) 2. (b), (c), and (d)
3. (c), (d), and (a) 4. (a), (b), and (d)
