Detailed Solution

The Focal length of the lens, f=+1.6m
Given,
Distance of the wall from the lamp, |u+v|=10m
Size of the image is 4 times the size of the lamp, i.e.,
hh=vu
=4
v=4u
u+v=10
 u+4u=10
 5u=10
u=2 m
v=4u
=4×2
=8 m
As per the sign convention followed, u=-2 m and v=+8 m
Thus,
Formula, 1f=1v-1u
=1+8-1-2
1f=1+48
1f=58
f=85
=1.6 m.
