$A$ plano-convex lens of refractive index ${\mu _1}$ and focal length $f_1$ is kept in contact with another plano-concave lens of refractive index ${\mu _2}$ and focal length $f_2$. If the radius of curvature of their spherical faces is $R$ each and $f_1 = 2f_2$,then ${\mu _1}$ and ${\mu _2}$ are related as:

Two lenses of power $-15 \ D$ and $+5 \ D$ are in contact with each other. The focal length of the combination is ....... $cm$.

$A$ convex lens of focal length $30\, cm$ and a concave lens of focal length $10\, cm$ are placed coaxially at a distance $d$ apart. Parallel rays are incident on the convex lens. The rays emerging from the concave lens are also parallel. Then $d = $ . . . . . . $cm$.

$A$ bi-convex lens is formed with two thin plano-convex lenses as shown in the figure. The refractive index $n$ of the first lens is $1.5$ and that of the second lens is $1.2$. Both the curved surfaces have the same radius of curvature $R = 14 \ cm$. For this bi-convex lens,if the object distance is $40 \ cm$,what will be the image distance (in $cm$)?
