Solution

Correct option is B)
Focal length of a lens is given by:-
f1=(n−1)(R11−R21) where n=μ′μ
Since, here, n=μ′μ>1 and by convention R1 is negative and R2 is positive
Hence, f comes out to be negative.
Thus, this system will behave as a Concavelens though with larger focal length than in air.
Hence,option-(B) is correct.
