⭐ Hello Mate⭐
✔️Here is your answer ✔️
=========✓✓✓============
Here,
Focal length= -20(as it is concave lens)
v= -15 (as concave lens always forms virtual and erect image on left of lens)
u= ? (to be calculated)
Putting these values in lens formula,
1/ -20 - 1/u = 1/ -15
-1/ u= 1/-15 + 1/20
-1/u = -4+3/60
-1/u = -1/60
-u = -60
[u =60]
✌️Hope it helps you ✌️
Thank you

This answer comes out to be incorrect as u(object distance) is always negative.

1/-20=1/-15 -1/u
1/u=-1/15+1/20
1/u=-1/60
u=-60cm
