Solution

The correct option is C 7.14 cm, 10 cm
Focal length =+10 cm Since it is magnifying lens it is convex len: The image distance vary from least distance of distinct vision to infinity. 1f=1v1u so object distance is calculated as 110=1251u14=1251101u=2550

u=507u=7.14 cm

At infinity

110=114u=10 cm

So B) 7.14 cm,10 cm is the
option
