$A$ spherical surface of radius of curvature $R$ separates air from glass of refractive index $1.5$. The centre of curvature is in the glass. $A$ point object $P$ placed in air forms a real image $Q$ in the glass. The line $PQ$ cuts the surface at point $O$ and $PO = OQ = x$. Hence the distance $x$ is equal to (in $R$)

Three glass cylinders of equal height $H = 30 \text{ cm}$ and same refractive index $n = 1.5$ are placed on a horizontal surface as shown in the figure. Cylinder $I$ has a flat top,cylinder $II$ has a convex top,and cylinder $III$ has a concave top. The radii of curvature of the two curved tops are same $(R = 3 \text{ m})$.
