Solution
`1/v - 1/u = 1/f`
`u = -30 cm`
`f = +10 cm`
`1/nu = 1/f + 1/u`
`1/nu_1 = 1/10 - 1/30`
⇒ `1/nu_1 = (3 - 1)/30 = 2/30`
`nu_1 = 15` cm
`u = +10 cm`
`f = -10 cm`
`1/nu_2 = 1/f + 1/u = 1/10 - 1/10`
`nu_2 = ∞`
For third lens object is at infinity hence image is formed at focus final image at a distance of 30 cm.
