Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 20 cm, on the same side of object

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{1}{F} = \frac{1}{f_1} + \frac{1}{f_2}\) \(\frac{1}{F} = \frac{1}{40 \text{ cm}} + \frac{1}{-20 \text{ cm}}\) \(\frac{1}{F} = \frac{1 - 2}{40 \text{ cm}} = -\frac{1}{40 \text{ cm}}\) \(F = -40 \text{ cm}\) \(\frac{1}{v} - \frac{1}{u} = \frac{1}{F}\)…
