Given that:
Object distance, u = -36 cm ;
Image distance, v = 72 (image formed is real so taken as positive)
Focal length, f = ?
Substituting these values in the mirror formula we get:
begin mathsize 12px style 1 over straight f space equals space 1 over straight v space minus space 1 over straight u space space space space space space equals space 1 over 72 space minus space fraction numerator 1 over denominator left parenthesis negative 36 right parenthesis end fraction space equals space 3 over 72 1 over straight f space equals space 1 over 24 straight f space equals space 24 space cm end style
Thus, the focal length of the lens is 24 cm.
