उत्तर

To solve `1/0.2`, you need to remove the decimal from the denominator. 

Step 1: Multiply both the numerator (top) and the denominator (bottom) by 10 to shift the decimal point one place to the right.

`P = (1 × 10)/(0.2 × 10)`

Step 2: Simplify the fraction `P = 10/2`

Step 3: Divide 10 by 2. P = 5

So, the final power of the lens is 5 D.
