The lens combination as shown in the figure, consists of two lenses, and , of the focal lengths cm and cm, respectively. The position of the image formed is :

Options
- A cm to the right of the concave lens
- B cm to the left of the concave lens
- C cm to the left of the concave lens
- D cm to the right of the concave lens
Correct answer
C. cm to the left of the concave lens
Step-by-step solution
For the first lens (convex lens):
Object distance, cm
Focal length, cm
Using the lens formula,
cm
The image formed by acts as a virtual object for the second lens .
For the second lens (concave lens):
Distance between the lenses, cm
Object distance for , cm
Focal length, cm
Using the lens formula,
cm
The negative sign indicates that the final image is formed cm to the left of the concave lens.
Answer: cm to the left of the concave lens
Object distance, cm
Focal length, cm
Using the lens formula,
cm
The image formed by acts as a virtual object for the second lens .
For the second lens (concave lens):
Distance between the lenses, cm
Object distance for , cm
Focal length, cm
Using the lens formula,
cm
The negative sign indicates that the final image is formed cm to the left of the concave lens.
Answer: cm to the left of the concave lens
