While performing an experiment for determining the focal length of a concave mirror by u-v method, a student recorded the given sets of the positions (in cm) of the object and the corresponding image on the bench as (12,51),(18,54),(30,50),(48,34),(42,42)(12,51),(18,54),(30,50),(48,34),(42,42) and (78,98)(78,98). She used an optical bench of length 1.5 m and the mirror is fixed at the 90 cm mark on the bench. The maximum acceptable error in the location of the image is 0.2 cm . The reading (observation) that cannot be obtained from experimental measurement and has been incorrectly recorded, for a mirror of focal length =24 cm=24 \mathrm{~cm}, is

Options

  1. A(18,54)(18,54)
  2. B(30,50)(30,50)
  3. C(48,34)(48,34)
  4. D(78,98)(78,98)
