A biconvex lens is cut into two halves along (i) \(XOX'\) and (ii) \(YOY'\) as shown in the figure. Let \(f,f',f''\) be the focal lengths of the complete lens, of each half in case (i), and of each half in case (ii), respectively.

Choose the correct statement from the following:
1. \(f' = f,f'' =2f\) 2. \(f' = 2f, f''=f\)
3. \(f' =f, f''=f\) 4. \(f'=2f, f''=2f\)

A lens forms an image of a point object placed at distance \(20~\text{cm}\) from it. The image is formed just in front of the object at a distance \(4~\text{cm}\) from the object (and towards the lens). The power of the lens is:
1. \(-2.25~\text D\) 
2. \(1.75~\text D\) 
3. \(-1.25~\text D\) 
4. \(1.4~\text D\)

A thin equiconvex lens of power \(P\) is cut into three parts \(A,B,\) and \(C\) as shown in the figure. If \(P_1,P_2\) and \(P_3\) are powers of the three parts respectively, then:
            

1. \(P_1=P_2=P_3\) 2. \(P_1>P_2=P_3\)
3. \(P_1<P_2=P_3\) 4. \(P_2=P_3=2P_1\)

Two convex lenses of focal length \(X\) and \(Y\) are placed parallel to each other. An object at infinity from the first lens forms its image at infinity from the second lens. The separation between the two lenses should be:
1. \(X+Y\) 2. \(\dfrac{X +Y}{2}\)
3. \(X-Y\) 4. \(\dfrac{X -Y}{2}\)
