Solution
The correct option is
A
Convex lens
Power of convex lens = 2D
Power of concave lens = 6D
The total power when the lens are combined will be
P = 2D + 6D = 8D
We know that power of the convex lens is positive and the power of the concave lens is negative.
Hence, as the total power of the combination of lenses is positive, it will be a convex lens
