Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(\frac{600}{11} \mathrm{~cm}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} \frac{1}{\mathrm{f}} & =\left(\frac{1.3-1}{1}\right)\left(\frac{1}{\infty}-\frac{1}{-30}\right) \\ & =\left(\frac{1.5-1}{1}\right)\left(\frac{1}{-30}-\frac{1}{-30}\right) \\ & =\frac{0.3}{30}+\frac{0.5}{60}=\frac{1}{100}+\frac{1}{120} \\ & =\frac{6+5}{600}=\frac{11}{600} \\ \mathrm{f} & =\frac{600}{11} \mathrm{~cm}\end{aligned}\)
