5
8
10
20

Solution :(a) `1/f=1/v-1/u`………(i)
Given `f=10cm` (as lens is converging)
`u=-8cm` (as object is placed on LEFT SIDE on thelens)
Substituting these values in Eq. (i) We get
`1/10=1/v-1/(-8)implies1/v=1/10-1/8implies1/v=(8-10)/80`
`:. V=80/(-2)=-40CM`
Hence, MAGNIFICATION produced by the lens
`m=v/u=(-40)/(-8)=5`
