Solution
The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion The power of the lens, P=1f, where f is the focal length. Hence the power of the lens is larger if its focal length is smaller. Also the power of a lens is its ability to converge or diverge the rays of light.
