Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(-2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given: \(f_{0}=50\, \mathrm{cm}, f_{e}=5\, \mathrm{cm}\) \(\mathrm{d}=25\, \mathrm{cm}, \mathrm{u}_{0}=-200\, \mathrm{cm}\) Magnification \(\mathrm{M}=?\) As \(\frac{1}{\mathrm{v}_{0}}-\frac{1}{\mathrm{u}_{0}}=\frac{1}{\mathrm{f}_{0}}\)…
