Assertion and reasoning type

  1. Assertion: Myopia is due to the increase in the converging power of eye lens.
  2. 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?
