  1. A -20 cm
  2. B -40 cm
  3. C -60 cm
  4. D -80 cm
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) -80 cm

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned}
& P=P_1+P_2 \\
& =2.50+(-3.75) \\
& =2.50-3.75 \\
& =-1.25 \mathrm{D} \\
& \therefore \quad \mathrm{f}=\frac{1}{\mathrm{P}}=\frac{1}{-1.25}=-0.8 \mathrm{~m} \\
& \therefore \quad \mathrm{f}=-80 \mathrm{~cm}
\end{aligned}\)
