Q.

Five persons P1,P2,P3,P4 and P5 recorded object distance (u) and image distance (v) using same convex lens having power +5D as (25,96), (30,62), (35,37), (45,35) and (50,32) respectively. Identify correct statement                   [2026]

1 Readings recorded by P3 and P2 persons are incorrect  
2 Readings recorded by P3 person are incorrect  
3 Readings recorded by P4 and P5 persons are incorrect  
4 Readings recorded by all persons are correct  

Ans.

(2)

P=+5D

1f=5  f=20 cm

 If object is between f and 2f, image will be beyond 2f and magnified.

 If object is beyond 2f, image will be between f and 2f and diminished.

Hence reading of P3 are incorrect.
