Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(15\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{v}=3 \mathrm{u}\) \(\mathrm{v}-\mathrm{u}=20 \mathrm{~cm}\) \(2 \mathrm{u}=20 \mathrm{~cm}\) \(\mathrm{u}=10 \mathrm{~cm}\) \(\frac{1}{(-30)}-\frac{1}{(-10)}=\frac{1}{\mathrm{f}}\) \(\mathrm{f}=15 \mathrm{~cm}\)
