Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 2

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{1}{v} = \frac{1}{f} - \frac{1}{u}\) \(\frac{1}{v} = \frac{1}{-16 \text{ mm}} - \frac{1}{-8 \text{ mm}} = -\frac{1}{16} + \frac{2}{16} = \frac{1}{16 \text{ mm}}\) \(v = 16 \text{ mm}\) \(M = -\frac{v}{u}\) \(M = -\frac{16 \text{ mm}}{-8 \text{ mm}} = 2\)
