(C) For a convex lens,the object distance $u = -40 \, cm$ and focal length $f = +20 \, cm$. Using the lens formula $\frac{1}{v} - \frac{1}{u} = \frac{1}{f}$,we get $\frac{1}{v} - \frac{1}{-40} = \frac{1}{20} \Rightarrow \frac{1}{v} = \frac{1}{20} - \frac{1}{40} = \frac{1}{40}$. Thus,$v = 40 \, cm$. The image is formed at $40 \, cm$ to the right of the lens. The lens has a radius of $5 \, cm$. The ray passing through the top edge of the lens $(A)$ passes through the image point $(C)$ and reaches the eye at point $(E)$. From the similar triangles $\Delta ABC$ and $\Delta CDE$,we have $\frac{AB}{BC} = \frac{DE}{CD}$. Here,$AB = 5 \, cm$ (radius),$BC = 40 \, cm$ (image distance),$DE = h$,and $CD = 60 \, cm - 40 \, cm = 20 \, cm$. Therefore,$\frac{5}{40} = \frac{h}{20} \Rightarrow h = \frac{5 	imes 20}{40} = 2.5 \, cm$.
