Question

Solution

The correct option is A $\frac{d (f_{1} - d) + f_{1} f_{2}}{(f_{1} + f_{2} - d)}$
The parallel rays will be focussed at the focal point of the first lens. The first image lies at $I$ , at a distance $f_{1}$ from the origin. This image $I_{1}$ will act as an object for refraction through the second lens. The object distance for the second lens, $u = (f_{1} - d)$ .
From lens equation, $\frac{1}{v} - \frac{1}{+ (f_{1} - d)} = \frac{1}{f_{2}}$
$v = \frac{f_{2} (f_{1} - d)}{(f_{1} + f_{2} - d)}$
Hence, the x-coordinate of final image $I_{2}$ is
$x = d + u = \frac{d + f_{2} (f_{1} - d)}{(f_{1} + f_{2} - d)} = \frac{d (f_{1} - d) + f_{1} f_{2}}{(f_{1} + f_{2} - d)}$
