उत्तर
must be greater than 20 cm
Let the image be formed at a distance of x cm from the lens.
Therefore, the distance of the object from the lens, u, will be = (40 − x) cm
From lens formula:
\[\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{v} - \frac{1}{u}\]
\[ \Rightarrow \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{x} - \frac{1}{40 - x}\]
\[ \Rightarrow \frac{1}{f} = \frac{40 - x - x}{40x - x^2}\]
\[ \Rightarrow f = \frac{40x - x^2}{40 - 2x}\]
\[ \Rightarrow f(40 - 2x) = 40x - x^2 \]
\[ \Rightarrow x^2 - 2fx - 40x + 40f = 0\]
\[ \Rightarrow x^2 - (2f + 40)x + 40f = 0\]
Therefore, we get x as:
\[x = \frac{(2f + 40) \pm \sqrt{(2f + 40 )^2 - 160f}}{2}\]
