Detailed Solution

According to the problem, combination of L₁ and L₂ act a simple glass plate. Hence according to formula $\frac{1}{F} = \frac{1}{f_{1}} + \frac{1}{f_{2}} - \frac{d}{f_{1} f_{2}}$
$\begin{array}{l} \frac{1}{f_{1}} + \frac{1}{f_{2}} - \frac{d}{f_{1} f_{2}} = 0 \Rightarrow \frac{1}{f_{1}} + \frac{1}{f_{2}} = \frac{d}{f_{1} f_{2}} \\ \Rightarrow \frac{1}{30} - \frac{1}{10} = \frac{d}{30 \times - 10} \Rightarrow \frac{- 20}{30 \times 10} = - \frac{d}{30 \times 10} \\ \Rightarrow d = 20 cm \end{array}$
