Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 10 D

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{f}_1=30 \mathrm{~cm}, \mathrm{f}_2=10 \mathrm{~cm}\)
\(\frac{1}{\mathrm{f}_{\mathrm{eq}}}=\frac{1}{\mathrm{f}_1}+\frac{1}{\mathrm{f}_2}-\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{f}_1 \mathrm{f}_2}, \mathrm{~d}=\) 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 \(=\frac{1}{\mathrm{f}_{\mathrm{eq}}}=10 \mathrm{D}\)
