$\mathrm{f}_1=30 \mathrm{~cm}, \mathrm{f}_2=10 \mathrm{~cm}$
$\frac{1}{\mathrm{f}_{\mathrm{eq}}}=\frac{1}{\mathrm{f}_1}+\frac{1}{\mathrm{f}_2}-\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{f}_1 \mathrm{f}_2}, \mathrm{~d}=$ distance between lens
$\frac{1}{\mathrm{f}_{\mathrm{eq}}}=\frac{1}{0.3}+\frac{1}{0.1}-\frac{0.1}{(0.3)(0.1)}$
$\frac{1}{\mathrm{f}_{\mathrm{eq}}}=\frac{1}{0.1}$
Power $=\frac{1}{\mathrm{f}_{\mathrm{eq}}}=10 \mathrm{D}$
