Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(10\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{1}{ f _{1}}=\frac{1}{15}=\left(\frac{3}{2}-1\right)\left[\frac{2}{ R }\right]\)

\(\frac{1}{ R }=\frac{1}{15}\)

\(\frac{1}{ f _{\text {eq }}}=\frac{1}{ f _{1}}+\frac{1}{ f _{2}}+\frac{1}{ f _{3}}\)

\(=\frac{1}{15}+\left(\frac{5}{4}-1\right)\left[\frac{-2}{ R }\right]+\frac{1}{15}\)

\(=\frac{1}{15}-\frac{1}{30}+\frac{1}{15}\)

\(=\frac{2-1+2}{30}\)

\(=\frac{3}{30}=\frac{1}{10}\)

\(=10\)
