  1. A -6.67
  2. B -1.5
  3. C 6.67
  4. D 1.5
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) -1.5

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(P=\frac{1}{f}\)
For combination of lenses,
\(\mathrm{P}=\mathrm{P}_1+\mathrm{P}_2\)
Given: \(\mathrm{P}_1=2.5 \mathrm{D}\) and \(\mathrm{P}_2=-4 \mathrm{D}\)
\(\therefore \quad P=-1.5 D\)
