$A$ biconvex lens is formed by using two thin planoconvex lenses, as shown in the figure. The refractive index and radius of curved surfaces are also mentioned in the figure. When an object is placed on the left side of the lens at a distance of $30 \ cm$ from the biconvex lens, the magnification of the image will be:

Curved surfaces of a plano-convex lens of refractive index $\mu_{1}$ and a plano-concave lens of refractive index $\mu_{2}$ have equal radius of curvature as shown in the figure. Find the ratio of the radius of curvature to the focal length of the combined lenses.

$A$ lens maker has to design an achromatic combination of effective power $-0.5 \, D$. The two types of glasses to be used (say $A$ and $B$) have dispersive powers in the ratio $\omega_A : \omega_B = 3 : 5$. Then the lens made from glass $A$ will have a focal length of ....... $cm$.
