An object placed in front of a concave mirror at a distance of $x \ cm$ from the pole gives a $3$ times magnified real image. If it is moved to a distance of $(x+5) \ cm$, the magnification of the image becomes $2$. The focal length of the mirror is: (in $cm$)

  • A
    $15$
  • B
    $20$
  • C
    $25$
  • D
    $30$

In an experiment to determine the focal length $(f)$ of a concave mirror by the parallax method,a student places the object pin $\text{A}$ on the principal axis at a distance $x$ from the pole $\text{P}$. The student looks at the pin and its inverted image from a distance,keeping his/her eye in line with $\text{PA}$. When the student shifts his/her eye towards the left,the image appears to the right of the pin. Then:
