  2. B 2
  3. C 3
  4. D \(1 / 3\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(1 / 2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} & \text { Using } m=\frac{f}{u-f} \\ & m_1=\frac{6}{18-6}=\frac{1}{2}\end{aligned}\) \(\mathrm{m}_2=\frac{6}{18+6}=\frac{1}{4} \quad \therefore \frac{\mathrm{~m}_2}{\mathrm{~m}_1}=\frac{1}{2}\)
