Expert Answer:

begin mathsize 12px style Given space that straight f space equals space 20 space cm Magnification space straight m space equals space straight v over straight u space equals space 4 rightwards arrow straight v space equals space 4 straight u Using space the space lens space formula comma 1 over straight f space equals space 1 over straight v space minus space 1 over straight u 1 over 20 space equals space fraction numerator 1 over denominator 4 straight u end fraction space minus space 1 over straight u 1 over 20 space equals space fraction numerator 1 space minus space 4 over denominator 4 straight u end fraction or space 4 straight u space equals space minus space 60 therefore space straight u space equals space minus 15 space cm rightwards arrow straight v space equals space 4 straight u space equals space space minus 60 space cm end style
