  1. A 92
  2. B 105
  3. C 90
  4. D 100
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 90

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(C) 90
\(m=\frac{f_{0}}{f_{e}}=15\)
\(\therefore f_{e}=\frac{f_{0}}{15}\)
Now, \(f_{0}+f_{e}=96\)
\(\therefore f_{0}+\frac{f_{0}}{15}=96\)
\(\therefore \quad \frac{16 f_{0}}{15}=96\)
\(\therefore \quad f_{0}=\frac{15 \times 96}{16}\)
\(\therefore \quad f_{0}=90 \mathrm{~cm}\)
