The correct answer is:
30
Let's consider the following diagram-
The relation between the object distance, the image distance and the radius of curvature of the spherical surface can be written as
Substitute the values of the known parameters into equation (1) and solve to calculate the required image distance.
Hence, the image is formed at a distance of from the pole on the same direction as the object is placed.
