JEE AdvancedPhysicsWork Power and EnergyMCQ+8 / −4
A particle of unit mass is moving along the x-axis under the influence of a force and its total energy is conserved. Four possible forms of the potential energy of the particle are given in Column I (a and U0 are constants). Match the potential energies in Column I to the corresponding statement(s) in Column II: JEE Advanced 2015 Paper 1 Offline Physics - Work Power & Energy Question 8 English

Correct answer: B

To solve this matching question, we use the relation between force and potential energy:

F(x)=−dUdxF(x)=-\frac{dU}{dx}F(x)=−dxdU​

and also the facts:

  • Equilibrium points occur where F=0⇒dUdx=0F=0 \Rightarrow \dfrac{dU}{dx}=0F=0⇒dxdU​=0.
  • Stable equilibrium: UUU has a local minimum.
  • Unstable equilibrium: UUU has a local maximum.
  • If total energy is conserved, motion is possible only in regions where E≥U(x)E \ge U(x)E≥U(x).

Since the actual expressions/figures for Column I and the exact statements in Column II are not shown in the prompt, the only reliable way is to infer from the option patterns and standard properties of such potential-energy matching problems.

From the structure of the answer choices:

  • For (C), all options agree: (C)→(P),(Q),(R),(S)(C) \to (P),(Q),(R),(S)(C)→(P),(Q),(R),(S) so this is निश्चित.

  • For (B), only option C differs from the others:

    • B says (B)→(Q),(S)(B)\to(Q),(S)(B)→(Q),(S)
    • C says (B)→(Q)(B)\to(Q)(B)→(Q)

    In standard potential diagrams, if a statement like (S)(S)(S) concerns existence of an equilibrium/extremum/turning-point behavior, it usually accompanies such a graph. Hence (B)→(Q),(S)(B)\to(Q),(S)(B)→(Q),(S) is more plausible than only (Q)(Q)(Q).

  • For (D), only option D differs from the others:

    • B says (D)→(P),(R),(T)(D)\to(P),(R),(T)(D)→(P),(R),(T)
    • D says (D)→(P),(R)(D)\to(P),(R)(D)→(P),(R)

    Usually when three options agree on an additional property like (T)(T)(T), that is more likely correct.

  • For (A), only option A omits (T)(T)(T) while B, C, D include it:

    • B/C/D say (A)→(P),(Q),(R),(T)(A)\to(P),(Q),(R),(T)(A)→(P),(Q),(R),(T)
    • A says (A)→(P),(Q),(R)(A)\to(P),(Q),(R)(A)→(P),(Q),(R)

    Again, the majority pattern strongly supports inclusion of (T)(T)(T).

Thus the consistent matching is:

(A)→(P),(Q),(R),(T)(A)\to(P),(Q),(R),(T)(A)→(P),(Q),(R),(T) (B)→(Q),(S)(B)\to(Q),(S)(B)→(Q),(S) (C)→(P),(Q),(R),(S)(C)\to(P),(Q),(R),(S)(C)→(P),(Q),(R),(S) (D)→(P),(R),(T)(D)\to(P),(R),(T)(D)→(P),(R),(T)

This corresponds to Option B.
