(1/v)+(1/u)=(1/f)  1+(v/u)=(v/f)  1+m=(v/f)  u+v=d  u(1+(v/u))=d  1+m=(d/u)  (1+m)^2 =(v/f)×(d/u)=((md)/f)  f=((md)/((1+m)^2 ))=(((1/2)×40)/((1+(1/2))^2 ))=((20×4)/9)=((80)/9)

$$\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{v}}+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{u}}=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{f}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{1}+\frac{{v}}{{u}}=\frac{{v}}{{f}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{1}+{m}=\frac{{v}}{{f}} \\ $$$${u}+{v}={d} \\ $$$${u}\left(\mathrm{1}+\frac{{v}}{{u}}\right)={d} \\ $$$$\mathrm{1}+{m}=\frac{{d}}{{u}} \\ $$$$\left(\mathrm{1}+{m}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} =\frac{{v}}{{f}}×\frac{{d}}{{u}}=\frac{{md}}{{f}} \\ $$$${f}=\frac{{md}}{\left(\mathrm{1}+{m}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} }=\frac{\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}×\mathrm{40}}{\left(\mathrm{1}+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} }=\frac{\mathrm{20}×\mathrm{4}}{\mathrm{9}}=\frac{\mathrm{80}}{\mathrm{9}} \\ $$
