One plano-convex and one plano-concave lens of same radius of curvature $R$ but of different materials are joined side by side as shown in the figure. If the refractive index of the material of $1$ is $\mu_1$ and that of $2$ is $\mu_2$,then the focal length of the combination is

  • A
    $\frac{R}{2(\mu_1 - \mu_2)}$
  • B
    $\frac{2R}{(\mu_1 - \mu_2)}$
  • C
    $\frac{R}{(\mu_1 - \mu_2)}$
  • D
    $\frac{R}{2 - (\mu_1 - \mu_2)}$
