An achromatic convergent lens of focal length $20 \, cm$ is made of two lenses (in contact) of materials having dispersive powers in the ratio of $1 : 2$ and having focal lengths $f_1$ and $f_2$. Which of the following is true?

  • A
    $f_1 = 10 \, cm, f_2 = -20 \, cm$
  • B
    $f_1 = 20 \, cm, f_2 = 10 \, cm$
  • C
    $f_1 = -10 \, cm, f_2 = -20 \, cm$
  • D
    $f_1 = 20 \, cm, f_2 = -20 \, cm$
