  • A 10cm
  • B 20cm
  • C 25cm
  • D 15cm
Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation:
M = \(\frac{v}{u}\) = 3 = \(\frac{v}{30}\). V = 30m
\(\frac{1}{u}\) + \(\frac{1}{v}\) = \(\frac{1}{f}\) = \(\frac{1}{10}\) - \(\frac{1}{30}\) = \(\frac{1}{f}\)
\(\frac{3 - 1}{30}\) = \(\frac{1}{f}
f = \(\frac{30}{2}\) = 15cm
