  1. A 7
  2. B 25

Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 7

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \frac{1}{v_o} = \frac{1}{f_o} - \frac{1}{u_o} = \frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{6} = \frac{3-2}{12} = \frac{1}{12} \) \( v_o = 12 \text{ cm} \) \( m_o = \frac{v_o}{u_o} = \frac{12}{6} = 2 \) \( m_e = 1 + \frac{D}{f_e} = 1 + \frac{25}{10} = 1 + 2.5 = 3.5 \)…
