A convex lens $A$ of focal length $20 c m$ and a concave lens $G$ of focal length $5 c m$ are kept along the same axis with the distance $d$ between them. If a parallel beam of light falling on $A$ leaves $B$ as a parallel beam, then distance $d$ in $c m$ will be
$25 c m$
$15 c m$
$30 c m$
$50 c m$

$P = \frac{1}{f_{1}} = \frac{1}{f_{2}} - \frac{d}{f_{1} f_{2}}$
$0 = \frac{1}{20} - \frac{1}{5} - \frac{d}{20 (- 5)}$
$\frac{d}{100} = \frac{1}{5} - \frac{1}{20} = \frac{4 - 1}{20} = \frac{3}{20}$
or $d = 15 c m$ .
