    An object is placed at a distance of \[f/2\] from a convex lens. The image will be                                               [CPMT 1974, 89]

    A)            At one of the foci, virtual and double its size

    B)            At 3f / 2, real and inverted

    C)            At 2f, virtual and erect

    D)            None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                       \[\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{v}-\frac{1}{u}\] (Given \[u=\frac{-f}{2}\])                     \[\Rightarrow \] \[\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{v}+\left( \frac{1}{f/2} \right)\Rightarrow \frac{1}{v}=\frac{1}{f}-\frac{2}{f}\]                     \[\Rightarrow \] \[\frac{1}{v}=\frac{-1}{f}\] and \[m=\frac{v}{u}=\frac{f}{f/2}=2\]            So virtual at the focus and of double size.
