Two point objects are placed on principal axis of a thin converging lens. One is 20cm from the lens and other is on the other side of lens at a distance of 40 cm from the lens. The images of both objects coincide. The magnitude of focal length of lens is :-

A point object is placed on the axis in front of a convex lens of focal length 30 cm. The distance of the object from the lens is 45 cm. If the lens is moved away from object by 1 mm and also the object is moved apart from the line joining the object and optical centre by 1 mm the displacement of the image has magnitude-

When a pin is moved along the principal axis of a small concave mirror, the image position coincides with the object at a point 0.5 m from the mirror refer figure . If the mirror is placed at a depth of 0.2 m in a transparent liquid, the same phenomenon occurs when the pin is placed 0.4 m from the mirror . The refractive index of the liquid is :-

A convex lens of focal length 15 cm and a concave mirror of focal length 30 cm are kept with their optic axis PQ and RS parallel but separated in vertical directiion by 0.6 cm as shown . The distance between the lens and mirror is 30 cm . An upright object AB of height 1.2 cm is placed on the optic axis PQ of the lens at a distance of 20 cm from the lens . if A'B' is the image after refraction from the lens and the reflectiion from the mirror , find the distance of A'B' from the pole of the mirror and obtain its magnification . Also locate positions of A' and B' with respect to the optic axis RS.
