Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

As image formed is real, therefore lens must be convex, `v` = 20 cm. Let `f_(1)` , be focal length for this lens.
`therefore(1)/(10)-(1)/(u)=(1)/(f_(1))+(1)/(f_(2))=((1)/(20)-(1)/(u))+(1)/(f_(2))rArrf_(2)= 20` cm
`thereforeP=(100)/(20)m^(-1)=5D`
