Detailed Solution

The focal length of the lens required is 38 m.
Given,
Image distance, v= -75 cm and object distance, u=-25 cm.
Form the lens formula,
1f=1v-1u
Where f, v, and u are the focal length, image distance, and object distance, respectively.
On substituting the given values, we get the focal length as
1f=1-75-1(-25)
1f=275
 f= 37.5 cm or 38 m
