u= -10, v= 6 cm
1/f=1v+1/u
1/f=1/-10+1/6
1/f=-3+5/30
1/f=2/30
f= 15
focal length= 15

sneha198: see the method
beautysingh: bt in the question it is not mention that image is real then how v is positive
beautysingh: method i know there is confusion on v will be positive or negative
sneha198: focal length will be negative
sneha198: because in cocave mirror focal length is negative
beautysingh: yes it is for sure bt focal length will be - in both cases either v+ or v-
beautysingh: yes
beautysingh: no no no i solved by my own
beautysingh: v will be negative
sneha198: ya
