amp;m=−3=−vu and v−u=20 cmamp;f=vuv+u=(−30)(−10)−30−10amp;∴R=+15\begin{aligned}& \mathrm{m}=-3=-\frac{\mathrm{v}}{\mathrm{u}} \text { and } \mathrm{v}-\mathrm{u}=20 \mathrm{~cm} \\& \mathrm{f}=\frac{\mathrm{vu}}{\mathrm{v}+\mathrm{u}}=\frac{(-30)(-10)}{-30-10} \\& \therefore \mathrm{R}=+15\end{aligned}
