An object placed at 20cm in front of a concave mirror produces three times magnified real image. What is the focal length of the concave mirror?A. 15cmB. 6.6cmC. 10cmD. 7.5cm

Answer» Correct Answer - A
We know that, linear magnification, `m=(f)/(f-u)`
Given object displaced, u=-20cm m=-3 (`therefore "all images aer inverted"`)
`So, -3=(f)/(f-(-20))`
`-3=(f)/(f+20) Rightarrow -3f-60=f`
`4f=-60 Rightarrow f=-(60)/(4)=-15cm`
Since, mirror is concace, f=-15cm
