Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(30\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

If side of object square \(=\ell\) and side of image square \(=\ell^{\prime}\) From question, \(\frac{\ell^{\prime 2}}{{\ell}^2 }=9\) or \(\quad \frac{\ell^{\prime}}{\ell}=3\) i.e., magnificationm \(=3\) \(\mathrm{u}=-40 \mathrm{cm}\) \(\mathrm{v}=3 \times 40=120\, \mathrm{cm}\)…
