Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} & \frac{1}{\mathrm{f}}=(\mu-1)\left(\frac{1}{\mathrm{R}_1}-\frac{1}{\mathrm{R}_2}\right) \\ & \frac{1}{12}=(\mu-1)\left(\frac{1}{10}-\frac{1}{-15}\right) \\ & \frac{1}{12}=(\mu-1)\left(\frac{3+2}{30}\right) \\ & \mu=\frac{3}{2}\end{aligned}\)
