Solution:

(i) $P=+2.0 \Rightarrow f=\frac{1}{+2.0} \times 100\, cm =+50\, cm$
(Positive power convex lens)
(ii) $P=P_1+P_2=(+0.25)+(+0.25)=+0.50 D$
$f=\frac{1}{P}=\frac{1}{+0.5} \times 100 \,cm =200 \,cm$
(iii) $P=-2.0 \Rightarrow f=\frac{1}{-2.0} \times 100\, cm =-50\, cm$
( -ve power concave lens)
(iv) $P=P_1+P_2=(-6.0)+(+3.5)=-2.5 \,D$
$f=\frac{1}{P}=\frac{1}{-2.5} \times 100 \,cm =-40\, cm$
