Options:

A) 70 cm from point B at right; real

B) $ \frac{20}{3}cm $ from point B at right, real

C) 40 cm from point B at right, real

D) 70 cm from point B at left, virtual

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

  • For the first lens, $ \frac{1}{v _1}-\frac{1}{u _1}=\frac{1}{f _1} $

    $ \Rightarrow $ $ \frac{1}{v _1}+\frac{1}{20}=\frac{1}{5}\Rightarrow v _1=\frac{20}{3}=6.67cm $

    Now, for the second lens, $ u _2=6.67-2=\frac{14}{3}cm $

    $ \frac{1}{v _2}-\frac{1}{u _2}=\frac{1}{f _2}\Rightarrow \frac{1}{v _2}=\frac{1}{-5}+\frac{3}{14} $ $ v _2=70cm $ right of second lens.
