Detailed Solution

Option (a) is correct. 

● In a concave mirror, the focal length is the distance between the pole and the focus. 

● Student 𝐴 measured the focal length correctly. 

● Because he measured the length between the concave mirror and the screen. 

Option (b) is incorrect. 

● In option (b), it is given that the focal length measured by the student 𝐵 only is correct. 

● Student 𝐵 measures the distance from the building. 

Option (c) is incorrect. 

● In option (c), it is given that the focal length measured by students 𝐴 and 𝐵 is incorrect. 

● Focal length is the distance between the screen and the mirror in the concave mirror. ● So, the focal length measured by the student 𝐴 only is correct. 

● So, option (c) is incorrect. 

Option (d) is incorrect. 

● In option d, it is given that the focal length measured by students 𝐵 and 𝐶 is correct.

● Focal length is the distance between the screen and the mirror in a concave mirror. 

● So, the focal length measured by students 𝐵 and 𝐶 is incorrect. 

● So, option (d) is incorrect. 

Hence option (a) Student 𝐴: From the mirror to the screen is correct.
