Solution

The correct option is D 2d1d2d1d2
Since, the object lies beyond the center of curvature of the mirror, the image will lie between C and f.


Distance of the object from the focus is :
x=f+d1
Distance of image from the focus is :
y=fd2
Using Newton's formula for mirror :
xy=f2
(f+d1)(fd2)=f2
f2fd2+fd1d1d2=f2

f=d1d2d1d2

R=2d1d2d1d2
