Question

A plano-convex lens when silvered on the plane side behaves like a concave mirror of focal length 60 cm. However, when silvered on the convex side, it behaves like a concave mirror of focal length 20cm. Then, the refractive index of the lens is  

 

Solution

Correct option is

1.5

 

    

               

                        

                  …(i)

                                  

  

Dividing (i) by (ii), we get
