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 $2$?

$A$ combination of two thin lenses of the same material with focal lengths $f_1$ and $f_2$,arranged on a common axis,minimizes chromatic aberration if the distance between them is:

$(a)$ 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.

$A$ plano-convex lens of refractive index $\mu_1$ fits exactly into a plano-concave lens of refractive index $\mu_2$. Their plane surfaces are parallel to each other. $R$ is the radius of curvature of the curved surface of the lenses. The focal length of the combination is:

$A$ convergent lens is placed $40 \,cm$ to the right of a diverging lens of focal length $15 \,cm$. $A$ parallel beam of light enters the diverging lens from the left, and the beam is again parallel when it emerges from the convergent lens. The focal length of the convergent lens is (in $\,cm$)

Two lenses of powers $-1.75 D$ and $+2.25 D$ are placed in contact. The focal length of the combination is (in $\,cm$)
