A concave mirror forms a real image three times larger than the object on a screen. Object and screen are moved until the image becomes twice the size of object. If the shift of object is 6 cm. Find the focal length and initial position of object?
My attempt :-
1st way
As per question
$$m_i=3$$
$$Longrightarrow frac-f-f+u=3$$
$$Longrightarrow 2f=3u. ...(1)$$
For second case , On a similar way we get
$$ frac-f-f+(u+6)=3$$
$$ Longrightarrow f=2u+12. ....(2)$$
On solving equation 1 and 2 we get
$$f=-36 , u=-24$$
2nd way
Since the image is inverted the magnification must be negative.
So $$m_i =-3$$
$$Longrightarrow fracff-u=-3$$
For second case
$$fracff-(u+6)=-2$$
On solving we get
$$f=-36, u=-48$$
My question:- why I get two different answer, if use the sign. Convention in the formula of magnification I get different results when I use the sign. Convention in the value of magnification. Why this this happen and which is right process ?
