Solution

The correct option is C Convex lens of focal length 20 cm.
Light rays from infinity converge at the focal point of the convex lens. Therefore, the optical device X is a convex lens. Since the distance between the lens and screen where the image is converged is 20 cm, the focal length of the convex lens is 20 cm.
Hence, the correct option is C.
