  4. D remains the same
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) decreases

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(f_{1}\) and \(f_{2}\) are focal lengths of convex and concave lens respectively, when they are kept in contact co-axially, then focal length \(F\) of the combination is given as…
