Detailed Solution

The two parts of the lens will have different focal lengths. So, there are two images.
$\frac{1}{v_{1}} - \frac{1}{u} = \frac{1}{100}$ ; $m_{1} = \frac{v_{1}}{u}$ , $\frac{1}{v_{2}} - \frac{1}{u} = \frac{1}{200}$ ; $m_{2} = \frac{v_{2}}{u}$
For same height of images $m_{1} = - m_{2}$ $v_{1} = - v_{2}$
$u = \frac{- 400}{3}$ cm, m1 = –3, m2 = 3, m1m2 = –9
∴ (a), (b), (c) and (d)
