The focal length of combination of lenses formed with lenses having power of +2.50 D and -3.75 D , will be

The focal length of combination of lenses formed with lenses having power of +2.50 D and -3.75 D , will be
  1. -20 cm
  2. -40 cm
  3. -60 cm
  4. -80 cm

Solution

$\begin{aligned} & P=P_1+P_2 \\ & =2.50+(-3.75) \\ & =2.50-3.75 \\ & =-1.25 \mathrm{D} \\ & \therefore \quad \mathrm{f}=\frac{1}{\mathrm{P}}=\frac{1}{-1.25}=-0.8 \mathrm{~m} \\ & \therefore \quad \mathrm{f}=-80 \mathrm{~cm} \end{aligned}$
