    A)            98 cm                                      

    B)            100 cm

    C)            150 cm                                    

    D)            200 cm

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                       \[m=\frac{{{f}_{o}}}{{{f}_{e}}}\] Þ \[\frac{100}{{{f}_{e}}}=50\] Þ \[{{f}_{e}}=2\,cm\]                    Normal distance \[{{f}_{o}}-{{f}_{e}}=100-2=98\,cm.\]
