A bi-convex lens is formed with two thin planoconvex lenses as shown in the figure. Refractive index
of the first lens is 1.5 and that of the second lens is 1.2 . Both the curved surfaces are of the same radius of curvature
cm. For this bi-convex lens, for an object distance of 40 cm, the image distance will be
