उत्तर
Device X is convex lens. This is because for a convex lens light rays which are parallel to each other but not to the principle axis meet on the focal plane. Also, the distance between the focal plane and the lens gives the focal length of the lens. Thus the focal length of the device X is 20 cm.
Device Y is concave mirror. This is because for a concave mirror light rays which are parallel to each other but not to the principle axis meet on the focal plane. Also, the distance between the focal plane and the lens gives the focal length of the mirror. Thus the focal length of the device Y is 25 cm.
Hence, the correct answer is Device X is a convex lens and device Y is a concave mirror, whose focal lengths are 20 cm and 25 cm respectively.
