$$\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{f}}=\left(\frac{\mu_{{glass}} }{\mu_{{water}} }−\mathrm{1}\right)\left(\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{R}_{\mathrm{1}} }−\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{R}_{\mathrm{2}} }\right) \\ $$$$\:\:\:\:=\left(\frac{\mathrm{1}.\mathrm{52}×\mathrm{3}−\mathrm{4}}{\mathrm{4}}\right)\left(\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{30}}+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{12}}\right) \\ $$$$\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{f}}=\frac{\mathrm{0}.\mathrm{14}×\mathrm{7}}{\mathrm{60}}=\frac{\mathrm{0}.\mathrm{98}}{\mathrm{60}} \\ $$$${f}=\frac{\mathrm{60}}{\mathrm{0}.\mathrm{98}}\approx\mathrm{60}\left(\mathrm{1}.\mathrm{02}\right)=\mathrm{61}.\mathrm{2}{cm} \\ $$

$$\left(\frac{\mu_{{glass}} }{\mu_{{water}} }−\mathrm{1}\right)=\frac{\mathrm{1}.\mathrm{52}−\mathrm{4}}{\mathrm{4}}?? \\ $$$${you}\:{had}\:\frac{\mathrm{1}.\mathrm{52}×\mathrm{3}−\mathrm{4}}{\mathrm{4}} \\ $$

$${the}\:{options}\:{are} \\ $$$$\left({a}\right)\mathrm{141}{cm}\:\left({b}\right)\:−\mathrm{0}.\mathrm{71}\:{cm}\:\left({c}\right)\:\mathrm{0}.\mathrm{71}{cm} \\ $$$$\left({d}\right)−\mathrm{141}{cm}\:\left({e}\right)\mathrm{14}.\mathrm{1}{cm} \\ $$
