Explanation / Answer

Given that the focal length of lens is f = 20 cm object distance is u = 50 cm --------------------------------------------- Now   the image distance            1 / f = 1 / u + 1 / v                1 / 20 cm = 1/50 cm + 1/ v Then      v = 33.33 cm Lens is converging lens magnification is m = - u / v                            = - 1.5
