Question 3: difficult

When an object is placed at a distance of 25 cm from a mirror, the magnification is m1. The object is moved 15 cm further away from mirror with respect to the earlier position and the magnification becomes m2. If m1/m2 = 4 , then calculate the focal length of the mirror :

1. –20 cm
2. 20 cm
3. 30 cm
4. -30 cm
