Answer:

f = 1 m

Explanation:

The magnification of the lens is given by the formula:

[tex]M = \frac{q}{p}[/tex]

where,

M = Magnification = 4

q = image distance = 5 m

p = object distance = ?

Therefore,

[tex]4 = \frac{5\ m}{p}\\\\p = \frac{5\ m}{4}\\\\p = 1.25\ m[/tex]

Now using thin lens formula:

[tex]\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{q}\\\\\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{1.25\ m}+\frac{1}{5\ m}\\\\\frac{1}{f} = 1\ m^{-1}\\\\[/tex]

f = 1 m
