A teacher gives a convex lens and a concave mirror of focal length of about 20 cm each to his student and asks him to find their focal lengths by obtaining the image of a distant object. The student uses a distant tree as the object and obtains its sharp image, one by one, on a screen. The distances d1 and d2 between the lens/mirror and the screen in the two cases and the nature of their respective sharp images are likely to be : (a) (20 cm, 40 cm,) and (erect, erect) (c) (20 cm, 20 cm) and (inverted, inverted) 20 cm (b) (d) (20 cm, 40 cm) and (inverted, erect) (20 cm, 20 cm) and (erect, inverted)
