Alternate Answer
  1. Advantages:
    1. Less chromatic abberation.
    2. High resolving power.
    3. Large gathering power.
    4. Less spherical abberation.

The position of the image, formed by the convex lens, is given by
$\frac{1}{\text{v}'} - \frac{1}{30} = \frac{1}{10}$
$\therefore\text{v}' = 15\text{cm}$
$\therefore\text{For the concave lens, u =+(15 − 5 )cm}$
$\text{and }\text{f} = -10\text{cm}$
$\text{Hence }\frac{1}{\text{v}} -\frac{1}{10} = - \frac{1}{10}$
$\therefore\frac{1}{\text{v}} = 0 \text{ or } \text{v}\rightarrow\infty.$
