Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation:
Using, f1 = f2
e1 = 20 - L ; e2 = 5cm
\(\frac{f_1}{e_1}\) = \(\frac{f_2}{e_2}\)
\(\frac{100}{20 - L}\) = \(\frac{100}{5}\)
hence, L = 15cm
Using, f1 = f2
e1 = 20 - L ; e2 = 5cm
\(\frac{f_1}{e_1}\) = \(\frac{f_2}{e_2}\)
\(\frac{100}{20 - L}\) = \(\frac{100}{5}\)
hence, L = 15cm
