An organism A which cannot move from one place to another, makes a simple food B from the substances C and D available in the environment. This food is made in the presence of a green coloured substance E present in organs F in the presence of light energy in a process called G. Some of the simple food B also gets converted into a complex food H for storage purposes. The food H gives a blue-black colour with dilute iodine solution.

A student did an experiment with a convex lens. He put an object at different distances 25cm, 30cm, 40cm, 60cm and 120cm from the lens. In each case he measured the distance of the image from the lens. His results were 100cm, 24cm, 60cm, 30cm and 40cm, respectively. Unfortunately his results are written in wrong order:
  1. Rewrite the image distances in the correct order.
  2. What would be the image distance if the object distance was 90cm?
  3. Which of the object distances gives the biggest image?
  4. What is the focal length of this lens?
