Solution

The correct option is D
more than 24 cm
An erect image is formed by L2 so it must be a virtual image. A convex lens forms a virtual and erect image when an object is placed between focus and optical centre of the lens. Hence the object distance that is 24 cm is less than the focal length ofL2 . Hence, the focal length of L2 is more than 24 cm.
