Detailed Solution

Convex lens will form image I1, at its focus which acts like a virtual object for concave lens.Hence for concave lens u = + 4 cm, f = 20 cm. So by lens formula 1−20=1v−14⇒v=5 cm  i.e.,  distance   of  final   image  I3 from  concave  lens  v=5  cm  by  usingvu=IO⇒54=I2⇒I2=2.5  cm
