Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(-2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{1}{v}-\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{f_{net}}=\frac{1}{f_{1}}+\frac{1}{f_{2}}\) \(\frac{1}{v}+\frac{1}{30}=(1.5-1)(\frac{1}{15}-\frac{1}{\infty})+(1.2-1)(\frac{1}{\infty}+\frac{1}{12})\) \(\frac{1}{v}+\frac{1}{30}=\frac{1}{30}+\frac{1}{60}\) \(v=60\)…
