When an object is placed at a distance of 25cm from mirror, the magnification is m1. When object is moved 15cm farther away with respect to earlier position, the magnification becomes m2.  If m1m2=4 then focal power of mirror is

a
0.5D
b
5D
c
−0.5D
d
−5D

detailed solution

Correct option is B

m=(ff−u) m1=(ff−u1)----(1) m2=(ff−u2)----(2) (1)/(2) ⇒4=f+40f+25⇒4f+100=f+403f=−60⇒f=−20cmP=−100f=+5D
