Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) (B) and (C) only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( f = 1/P = 1/5.0 \, D = 0.2 \, m = 20 \, cm \) \( m = v/u \implies v = mu \) \( 1/f = 1/v - 1/u = 1/(mu) - 1/u = (1-m)/(mu) \) \( u = f(1-m)/m \) For \( m = -4 \): \( u = 20 \, cm \cdot (1 - (-4))/(-4) = 20 \cdot 5/(-4) = -25 \, cm \) For \( m = +4 \):…
