A man standing extremely close in front of a special mirror finds his image having a very small head, a fat body but legs of similar size. Hence,
  1. The top part of the mirror is convex, as it forms virtual, erect and small-sized image.
  2. The middle of the mirror is concave, as it forms virtual, erect and large-sized image.
  3. The bottom of the mirror is a plane mirror, as it forms virtual, erect and image of the same size as the object.

    Sudha finds out that the sharp image of the window pane of her science laboratory is formed at a distance of 15cm from the lens. She now tries to focus the building visible to her outside the window instead of the window pane without disturbing the lens. In which direction will she move the screen to obtain a sharp image of the building? What is the approximate focal length of this lens?
