The ray diagram for two lenses kept at some distance is given in the figure. Which of the following options is correct? ($f_1, f_2 =$ focal lengths,$d =$ distance between lenses)

$A$ plano-convex lens (focal length $f_2,$ refractive index $\mu_2,$ radius of curvature $R$) fits exactly into a plano-concave lens (focal length $f_1,$ refractive index $\mu_1,$ radius of curvature $R$). Their plane surfaces are parallel to each other. Then,the focal length of the combination will be

The plane faces of two identical plano-convex lenses,each having a focal length of $40 \ cm$,are pressed against each other to form a biconvex lens. The distance from this lens at which an object must be placed to obtain a real,inverted image with a magnification of $1$ is ....... $cm$.

$A$ point object,$O$ is placed in front of two thin symmetrical coaxial convex lenses $L_1$ and $L_2$ with focal lengths $24\,cm$ and $9\,cm$ respectively. The distance between the two lenses is $10\,cm$ and the object is placed $6\,cm$ away from lens $L_1$ as shown in the figure. The distance between the object and the image formed by the system of two lenses is .........$cm$.
