Answer
Reason — For a convex lens, the first focal point is a point F1 on the principal axis of the lens such that the rays of light coming from it, after refraction through the lens, become parallel to the principal axis of the lens.
In option 2, A ray of light incident parallel to the principal axis of the lens, after refraction appears to come from the second focus F2 and not F1.
In option 3, A ray of light incident parallel to the principal axis of the lens, after refraction passes through the second focus F2 and not F1
In option 4, A ray of light directed towards the first focus F1 and not F2, emerges parallel to the principal axis after refraction.
Hence, fig 1 is correct.
