11.A convex and a concave lens are coaxially placed. The

object is placed to the left of convex lens of focal length
20 cm. The final image is formed at infinity. The focal
length of concave lens is 5 cm. The distance between two
lenses may be

a) 15 cm
b) 35 cm
c) 55 cm
d) All three are possible
Ans. d)
8
 Explanation:
If the object is at  , image due to convex lens will be formed
at 20 cm. For the rays to parallel from concave lens, this
image has to be at 5 cm from concave lens. Hence, distance
between two lenses shall be 15 cm.
If the object is at 2f = 40 cm, the image due to convex lens
will be at 40 cm from convex lense.
Thus distance between two lenses
= 40 – 5 = 35 cm
It the object is at 3 f = 30 cm, image will be formed at 60 cm
