$A$ plano-convex lens (focal length $f_2,$ refractive index $\mu_2,$ radius of curvature $R$) fits exactly into a plano-concave lens (focal length $f_1,$ refractive index $\mu_1,$ radius of curvature $R$). Their plane surfaces are parallel to each other. Then,the focal length of the combination will be

Two convex lenses of focal length $20\,cm$ each are placed coaxially with a separation of $60\,cm$ between them. The image of the distant object formed by the combination is at $...........\,cm$ from the first lens.

$A$ convex lens of focal length $25 \ cm$ and a concave lens of focal length $10 \ cm$ are joined together. The power of the combination will be

Two lenses of power $+10D$ and $-5D$ are placed in contact. At what distance (in $cm$) should an object be held from the lens combination to obtain a virtual image of magnification $2$?

Assertion: Two convex lenses joined together cannot produce an achromatic combination.
Reason: The condition for achromatism is $\frac{\omega_1}{f_1} + \frac{\omega_2}{f_2} = 0$,where symbols have their usual meaning.
