In the diagram given below, there are three lenses formed. Considering negligible thickness of each of them as compared to \(\left|R_1\right|\) and \(\left|R_2\right|\), i.e., the radii of curvature for upper and lower surfaces of the glass lens, the power of the combination is :

- A \(\frac{1}{6}\left(\frac{1}{\left|\mathrm{R}_1\right|}-\frac{1}{\left|\mathrm{R}_2\right|}\right)\)
- B \(-\frac{1}{6}\left(\frac{1}{\left|\mathrm{R}_1\right|}+\frac{1}{\left|\mathrm{R}_2\right|}\right)\)
- C \(\frac{1}{6}\left(\frac{1}{\left|R_1\right|}+\frac{1}{\left|R_2\right|}\right)\)
- D \(-\frac{1}{6}\left(\frac{1}{\left|\mathrm{R}_1\right|}-\frac{1}{\left|\mathrm{R}_2\right|}\right)\)
