$A$ magnifying glass is made of a combination of lenses with power $+20\,D$ and $-4\,D$. If the least distance of distinct vision is $25\,cm$,calculate the size of an image of an object $2\,cm$ high seen through the magnifying glass. (in $,cm$)

$A$ convex lens of power $+6 D$ is placed in contact with a concave lens of power $-4 D$. What is the nature and focal length of the combination?

$(a)$ Determine the 'effective focal length' of the combination of two lenses,a convex lens of focal length $30 \; cm$ and a concave lens of focal length $20 \; cm$,if they are placed $8.0 \; cm$ apart with their principal axes coincident. Does the answer depend on which side of the combination a beam of parallel light is incident? Is the notion of effective focal length of this system useful at all?
$(b)$ An object $1.5 \; cm$ in size is placed on the side of the convex lens in the arrangement $(a)$ above. The distance between the object and the convex lens is $40 \; cm$. Determine the magnification produced by the two-lens system,and the size of the image.

Obtain the equivalent focal length of a combination of thin lenses placed in contact.

If two $+5D$ lenses are mounted at some distance apart,the equivalent power will always be negative if the distance is

$A$ combination of two thin lenses with focal lengths $f_1$ and $f_2$ respectively forms an image of a distant object at a distance of $60 \ cm$ when the lenses are in contact. The position of this image shifts by $30 \ cm$ towards the combination when the two lenses are separated by $10 \ cm$. The corresponding values of $f_1$ and $f_2$ are:
