When an object is at distances x and y from a lens, a real image and a virtual image is formed respectively having same magnification. The focal length of the lens isA. `(x+y)/2`B. x-yC. `sqrt(xy)`D. x+y

Answer» Correct Answer - A
(a) For real image,
u=-x
v=+mx
`1/(mx)-1/(-x)=1/f`
For virtual image,
u=-y
Then, v=-my
`1/(-my)-1/(-y)=1/f`
On solving Eqs. (i) and (ii) we get
`f=(x+y)/2`
