Solution

The correct option is A

90cm


Step 1: Given and find,

The focal length of a convex lens f=30cm

sizeofimage=12×sizeofobject

To find: Distance of object

Step 2: Explanation:

Magnification m=fu-f

m=sizeofimagesizeofobject

m=12

12=30u-30

u-30=30×2

u-30=60

u=90cm

Thus. the distance of the object is 90cm.

Hence, the correct option is (A) 90cm.
