A comvex lens and a concave lens are placed in contact. The ratio of magnitude of the power of the convex lens to that of the concave lens is 4:3. If the focal length of the convex lens is 12 cm, then the focal length of the combination will be

Assertion:A convex lens and a concave lens are kept in contact. They will behave as a diverging lens if focal length of convex lens is more. Reason: Power of a concave lens is always less than the power of a convex lens, as power of concave lens is negative whereas power of convex lens is positive.
