Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation:
F = \(\frac{UV}{U + V}\)
20 = \(\frac{60 \times V}{60 + V}\)
V = 30cm
similarly, \(\frac{U}{V}\) = \(\frac{\text{height of object}}{\text{height of image}}\)
\(\frac{60}{30}\) = \(\frac{3}{h}\)
h = 1.5cm
F = \(\frac{UV}{U + V}\)
20 = \(\frac{60 \times V}{60 + V}\)
V = 30cm
similarly, \(\frac{U}{V}\) = \(\frac{\text{height of object}}{\text{height of image}}\)
\(\frac{60}{30}\) = \(\frac{3}{h}\)
h = 1.5cm
