Detailed Solution

Equivalent focal from of the system of three lenses in contact is given as 
1feq=1fG+1fW+1fG---------- (1) 
Where focal length of glass lenses is given as fG=Rμ1=2R
R=5cm

Focal length of water lens is given as fW=R2(μ1)=3R2=7.5cm
Now from equation-(1), we have 1feq=2(110)+(215)=115
Equivalent optical power of the given system is given as Pe=115×100=6.67D
