Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 20 cm

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(m = -\frac{v}{u}\) \(-3 = -\frac{v}{u} \Rightarrow v = 3u\) \(\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{v} + \frac{1}{u}\) \(\frac{1}{15} = \frac{1}{3u} + \frac{1}{u}\) \(\frac{1}{15} = \frac{4}{3u}\) \(3u = 60\) \(u = 20 \text{ cm}\)
