Solution

The correct option is B 7.5 cm
Given,
D=30 cm and f=10 cm

For maximum angular magnification, the image should be formed at least distance of clear vision.

v=D=30 cm

Using lens formula,

1f=1v1u

110=1301u

1u=130110=430

u=7.5 cm

So, the object should be place at 7.5 cm from the lens.

Hence, (B) is the correct asnwer.
