Correct answer: A

First for image formation from lens

u = −-−60 cm

f = +30 cm

⇒v=ufu+f=−60×30−60+30=60 \Rightarrow v = {{uf} \over {u + f}} = {{ - 60 \times 30} \over { - 60 + 30}} = 60⇒v=u+fuf​=−60+30−60×30​=60 cm

This real image formed by lens acts as virtual object for mirror.

NEET 2021 Physics - Geometrical Optics Question 18 English Explanation


Real image from plane mirror is formed 20 cm in front of mirror, hence at 20cm distance from lens. Now for second refraction from lens,

u = −-−20 cm

f = +30 cm

v=ufu+f=−20×30−20+30=−60v = {{uf} \over {u + f}} = {{ - 20 \times 30} \over { - 20 + 30}} = - 60v=u+fuf​=−20+30−20×30​=−60 cm

So, final virtual image is 60 cm from lens, or 20 cm behind mirror.
