Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 50 cm

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(M = \frac{f_o}{f_e} \implies 10 = \frac{f_o}{f_e} \implies f_o = 10f_e \) \(L = f_o + f_e \) \(55 = 10f_e + f_e \) \(55 = 11f_e \implies f_e = 5 \text{ cm}\) \(f_o = 10 \times 5 = 50 \text{ cm}\)
