Answer #1

We know that,

1/f = 1/O +1/i

or f = Oi/O+i = 26.1 = Oi/114

Oi = 26.1*114 =2975.4

O+i = 114

Then,

(O+i)2 = O2 +i2 +2(Oi) =O2 +i2 +2(2975.4 ) =12996

So,O2 +i2 = 7045.2

Now , (O-i)2 = O2 +i2 -2(Oi) = 7045.2 - 2(2975.4 ) = 1094.4

O-i = 33.08 cm and O+i = 114

so, i= 40.46 cm and O= 73.54 cm
