Dhruvvala26: It is
Dhruvvala26: Incorrect. Because you need to take h' = -h/3. So m=-1/3.
Dhruvvala26: The answer is -80 cm
Dhruvvala26: If the answer was -40cm, then the size of image will be equal to that of the object. But it is 1/3 rd.

Dear student,

● Answer -
u = -40 cm

● Explanation -
# Given -
h2/h1 = 1/3
f = 20 cm

# Solution -
Magnification by comvex lens is given by -
M = h2/h1 = -v/u
1/3 = -v/u
v = -u/3


According to lens formula -
1/f = 1/u + 1/v
1/20 = 1/u - 3/u
u = -40 cm

Therefore, object is 40 cm from optical centre of lens.

Hope this helped...
