Expert Answer:
(i)one info in the question is wrong:
b)Position of the screen=50 cm
it sh be:
b)Position of the lens=50 cm
so object distance=50-12=38 cm
image distance=88-50=38 cm
as the object distance and the image distamnce is equal so that means that the object is at 2f distance:
2f=38cm
f=19 cm
(ii)now the object distance=50-31=19 cm...so object at fous so the image will be at infinity
(iii)in this third condition virtual image will be formed.
