| $(A)$ $U _1( x )=\frac{ U _0}{2}\left[1-\left(\frac{ x }{ a }\right)^2\right]^2$ | $(P)$ The force acting on the particle is zero at $x = a$. |
| $(B)$ $U _2( x )=\frac{ U _0}{2}\left(\frac{ x }{ a }\right)^2$ | $(Q)$ The force acting on the particle is zero at $x=0$. |
| $(C)$ $U _3( x )=\frac{ U _0}{2}\left(\frac{ x }{ a }\right)^2 \exp \left[-\left(\frac{ x }{ a }\right)^2\right]$ | $(R)$ The force acting on the particle is zero at $x =- a$. |
| $(D)$ $U _4( x )=\frac{ U _0}{2}\left[\frac{ x }{ a }-\frac{1}{3}\left(\frac{ x }{ a }\right)^3\right]$ | $(S)$ The particle experiences an attractive force towards $x =0$ in the region $| x |< a$. |
| $(T)$ The particle with total energy $\frac{ U _0}{4}$ can oscillate about the point $x=-a$. |
