An object is placed on the principal axis of convex lens of focal length 10cm10 cm as shown A plane mirror is placed on the other side of lens at a distance of 20cm20 cm The image produced by the plane mirror is 5cm5 cm inside the mirror The distance of the object from the lens is ___cmcm

Answer

The correct answer is 30.

f=10cm

151​−−u1​=101​
⇒u1​=101​−151​
On solving we get value of u as 30cm.
