Answer #1

A.) We should make several measurements using different values and then use them to determine the f of the lens.

This is because one measurement will contain large error. If we take several measurements and take the average value of the focal length, then the error will be less and we will get the near exact f of the lens.

B.) As the object distance approaches the focal length of the lens, the image distance approaches towards infinity.

No, we should not measure the image distance when the object distance is near the focal length of the length of the lens because it would be impractical to measure such a large distance.
