Q60 / 60 · JEE Advanced 2015 (Paper 1) · Physics
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 are constants). Match the potential energies in column I to the corresponding statement(s) in column II. Column I Column II A. P. The force acting on the particle is zero at B. Q. The force acting on the particle is zero at . C. R. The force acting on the particle is zero at D. S. The particle experiences an attractive force towards in the region T. The particle with total energy can oscillate about the point

Solution
, at
Oscillate when total ME is less then
B-
C-
even function hence minima
