$A$ short straight object of length $l$ lies along the central axis of a spherical concave mirror, at a distance $X$ from the mirror. The focal length of the mirror is $F$. If the length of the image in the mirror is $l^{\prime}$, then the ratio $\left(\frac{l^{\prime}}{l}\right)$ is (assume $l << X$ and $l << F$):

  • A
    $\frac{F-X}{F}$
  • B
    $\left(\frac{F-X}{F}\right)^2$
  • C
    $\left(\frac{F}{F-X}\right)^2$
  • D
    $\frac{F}{X}$

When an object is placed at a distance of $25 \ cm$ from a concave mirror,the magnification is $m_1$. The object is moved $15 \ cm$ farther away with respect to the earlier position and the magnification becomes $m_2$. If $m_1/m_2 = 4$,the focal length of the mirror is $....... \ cm$ (Assume image is real and $m_1, m_2$ are numerical values).
