While studying saponification reaction, a student

measures the
temperature of the reaction mixture and also finds its nature using
blue/red litmus paper. On the basis of his observations the correct
conclusion would be
(A)
the reaction is exothermic and the reaction mixture is acidic.
(B)
the reaction is endothermic and the reaction mixture is acidic.
(C)
the reaction is endothermic and the reaction mixture is basic.
(D)
the reaction is exothermic and the reaction mixture is basic.

A student has obtained an image of a well-illuminated distant object on a

screen to determine the focal length, F1 of the given spherical mirror. The
teacher then gave him another mirror of focal length, F2 and asked him
to obtain a focussed image of the same object on the same screen. The
student found that in order to focus the same object using the second
mirror, he has to move the mirror away from the screen. From this
observation it may be concluded that both the spherical mirrors given to
the student were (select the correct option)
