  1. A convex lens of focal length 35 cm
  2. B concave lens of focal length 35 cm
  3. C convex lens of focal length 87.5 cm
  4. D concave lens of focal length 87.5 cm
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) convex lens of focal length 87.5 cm

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{v} - \frac{1}{u} \) \( \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{-35 \text{ cm}} - \frac{1}{-25 \text{ cm}} \) \( \frac{1}{f} = \frac{-25 + 35}{875} = \frac{10}{875} \) \( f = \frac{875}{10} = 87.5 \text{ cm} \) convex lens of focal length 87.5 cm
