Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

[d] Given: $ f _{0}=50cm,f _{e}=5cm $

$ d=25,cm,v _{0}=-200,cm $

Magnification M=? As $ \frac{1}{v _{0}}+\frac{1}{u _{0}}=\frac{1}{{f _{0}}} $

$ \Rightarrow \frac{1}{v _{0}}=\frac{1}{f _{0}}+\frac{1}{u _{0}}=\frac{1}{50}-\frac{1}{200}=\frac{4-1}{200}=\frac{3}{200} $

$ \text{or }v _{0}=\frac{200}{3}\text{ Now }v _{e}=d=-25\text{ cm}$

From, $ \frac{1}{v _{e}}-\frac{1}{u _{e}}=\frac{1}{f _{e}} $

$ -\frac{1}{u _{e}}=\frac{1}{f _{e}}-\frac{1}{v _{e}}=\frac{1}{5}-\frac{1}{25}=\frac{2}{25}\text{ or, }v _{e}=\frac{-25}{2}cm $
