The dispersive powers of the materials of two lenses forming an achromatic combination are in the ratio of $4:3$. If the effective focal length of the combination is $+60 \ cm$, then the focal lengths of the lenses should be:

  • A
    $-20 \ cm, 25 \ cm$
  • B
    $20 \ cm, -25 \ cm$
  • C
    $-15 \ cm, 20 \ cm$
  • D
    $15 \ cm, -20 \ cm$
