Which of the following statement(s) is/are correct?
(A) The power of a lens is the ability of the lens to converge or diverge the incident rays.
(B) S.I unit of the power of a lens is dioptre while focal length is in centimetres
(C) For a lens of larger focal length, power is smaller
(D) In any combination of lenses, the power of combination is not algebraic addition of power of combined lenses
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Apply the relevant identity from the chapter and substitute the values established in the previous step, keeping the original constraint in view.

Use the simplified expression to isolate the unknown, then plug the result back into the question setup to confirm the working is internally consistent.

Cross-check against a boundary or limiting case. Both the dimensional balance and the qualitative behaviour at the extreme should agree with the candidate answer.

Combine the steps above to identify the correct option. The remaining choices each fail at least one of the consistency, dimensional, or boundary checks.
