Solution
Given: Focal length f = 20cm = 0.2 m
Power = `1/"Focal length in m"=1/0.2` = 5D

Assertion and reasoning type
- Assertion: Myopia is due to the increase in the converging power of eye lens.
- Reason: Myopia can be corrected with the help of concave lens.
The focal length of a concave lens is 20 cm. The focal length of a convex lens is 25 cm. These two are placed in contact with each other. What is the power of the combination? Is it diverging, converging or undeviating in nature?
