Two thin convex lenses are kept in contact coaxially. If the focal length of the combination of the lenses is $4 \ cm$ and the sum of the focal lengths of the two lenses is $18 \ cm$,then the focal length of the lens of lower power is (in $cm$)

$A$ thin convex lens of focal length $30 \, cm$ forms an image $2 \, cm$ high,of an object at infinity. $A$ thin concave lens of focal length $20 \, cm$ is placed $26 \, cm$ from the convex lens on the side of the image. The height of the final image is.....$cm$.

List-$I$ contains four combinations of two lenses ($1$ and $2$) whose focal lengths (in $cm$) are indicated in the figures. In all cases,the object is placed $20 \ cm$ from the first lens on the left,and the distance between the two lenses is $5 \ cm$. List-$II$ contains the positions of the final images.
Which one of the following options is correct?

$A$ combination of two thin lenses in contact has a power of $+10 D$. The power reduces to $+6 D$ when the lenses are $0.25 m$ apart. The power of each individual lens is:

Two lenses of power $+10 \, D$ and $-5 \, D$ are placed in contact. Where should an object be held from the lens so as to obtain a virtual image of magnification $2$ (in $, cm$)?
