The combination of a convex lens $(f = 18 \ cm)$ and a thin concave lens $(f = 9 \ cm)$ is:

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.

$A$ 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:

$A$ diverging lens with a focal length magnitude of $25\ cm$ is placed at a distance of $15\ cm$ from a converging lens with a focal length magnitude of $20\ cm$. $A$ beam of parallel light falls on the diverging lens. The final image formed is:
