An object is placed on the principal axis of convex lens of focal length \(10\,cm\) as shown. A plane mirror is placed on the other side of lens at a distance of \(20\,cm\). The image produced by the plane mirror is \(5\,cm\) inside the mirror. The distance of the object from the lens is \(............cm\).

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(30\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(f =10\,cm\)

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

\(\frac{1}{15}-\frac{1}{- u }=\frac{1}{10}\)

\(\Rightarrow \frac{1}{ u }=\frac{1}{10}-\frac{1}{15}\)

On solving we get value of \(u\) as \(30\,cm\).
