MCQ
A candle placed $25 \mathrm{~cm}$ from a lens, forms an image on a screen placed $75 \mathrm{~cm}$ on the other end of the lens. The focal length and type of the lens should be
  • $+18.75 \mathrm{~cm}$ and convex lens
  • B
    $-18.75 \mathrm{~cm}$ and concave lens
  • C
    $+20.25 \mathrm{~cm}$ and convex lens
  • D
    $-20.25 \mathrm{~cm}$ and concave lens

Answer

Correct option: A.
$+18.75 \mathrm{~cm}$ and convex lens
$ u=-25 \mathrm{~cm}, v=+75 \mathrm{~cm} $
$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{+75}-\frac{1}{-25} $
$\Rightarrow f=+18.75 \mathrm{~cm} ; \text { convex lens. }$
