Two thin biconvex lenses have focal lengths $f_{1}$ and $f_{2}$. $A$ third thin biconcave lens has a focal length of $f_{3}$. If the two biconvex lenses are in contact,the total power of the lenses is $P_{1}$. If the first convex lens is in contact with the third lens,the total power is $P_{2}$. If the second lens is in contact with the third lens,the total power is $P_{3}$,then:

  • A
    $P_{1}=\frac{f_{1} f_{2}}{f_{1}-f_{2}}, P_{2}=\frac{f_{1} f_{3}}{f_{3}-f_{1}}$ and $P_{3}=\frac{f_{2} f_{3}}{f_{3}-f_{2}}$
  • B
    $P_{1}=\frac{f_{1}-f_{2}}{f_{1} f_{2}}, P_{2}=\frac{f_{3}-f_{1}}{f_{3}+f_{1}}$ and $P_{3}=\frac{f_{3}-f_{2}}{f_{2} f_{3}}$
  • C
    $P_{1}=\frac{f_{1}-f_{2}}{f_{1} f_{2}}, P_{2}=\frac{f_{3}-f_{1}}{f_{1} f_{3}}$ and $P_{3}=\frac{f_{3}-f_{2}}{f_{2} f_{3}}$
  • D
    $P_{1}=\frac{f_{1}+f_{2}}{f_{1} f_{2}}, P_{2}=\frac{f_{3}-f_{1}}{f_{1} f_{3}}$ and $P_{3}=\frac{f_{3}-f_{2}}{f_{2} f_{3}}$

The focal length of the field lens (which is an achromatic combination of two lenses) of a telescope is $90 \ cm$. The dispersive powers of the two lenses in the combination are $0.024$ and $0.036$. The focal lengths of the two lenses are:

$A$ convex lens has $9 \ cm$ focal length and a concave lens has $-18 \ cm$ focal length. The focal length of the combination in contact will be.....$cm$

List-$I$ contains four combinations of two lenses ($1$ and $2$) whose focal lengths (in $cm$) are indicated in the figures. In all cases,the object is placed $20 \ cm$ from the first lens on the left,and the distance between the two lenses is $5 \ cm$. List-$II$ contains the positions of the final images.
Which one of the following options is correct?

$A$ magnifying glass is made of a combination of lenses with power $+20\,D$ and $-4\,D$. If the least distance of distinct vision is $25\,cm$,calculate the size of an image of an object $2\,cm$ high seen through the magnifying glass. (in $,cm$)

$A$ convergent lens is placed $40 \,cm$ to the right of a diverging lens of focal length $15 \,cm$. $A$ parallel beam of light enters the diverging lens from the left, and the beam is again parallel when it emerges from the convergent lens. The focal length of the convergent lens is (in $\,cm$)
