Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A)  \(-15 \mathrm{~cm}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \text { Given } R=30 \mathrm{~cm} \)

\( \mathrm{f}=\mathrm{R} / 2=+15 \mathrm{~cm}\)

Magnification \((\mathrm{m})= \pm \frac{1}{2}\)

For convex mirror, virtual image is formed for real object.

Therefore, \(\mathrm{m}\) is +ve

\( \frac{1}{2}=\frac{f}{f-u} \)

\( u=-15 \mathrm{~cm}\)
