Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 15 cm

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(|m_1| = |m_2|\) \(|\frac{f}{f-u_1}| = |\frac{f}{f-u_2}|\) \(|f-u_1| = |f-u_2|\) \(f-u_1 = -(f-u_2)\) \(2f = u_1 + u_2\) \(f = \frac{20 \, \text{cm} + 10 \, \text{cm}}{2}\) \(f = 15 \, \text{cm}\)
