Answer: 15

Numerical answer — enter this value.

Step-by-step solution

\begin{array}{*{35}{r}}{} & \text{v}=3\text{u} \\{} & \text{v}-\text{u}=20\text{ }\!\!~\!\!\text{ cm} \\{} & 2\text{u}=20\text{ }\!\!~\!\!\text{ cm} \\{} & \text{u}=10\text{ }\!\!~\!\!\text{ cm} \\{} & \frac{1}{\left( -30 \right)}-\frac{1}{\left( -10 \right)}=\frac{1}{\text{f}} \\{} & \text{f}=15\text{ }\!\!~\!\!\text{ cm} \\\end{array}
