Answer

Power of lens = +5D
Focal length of lens,
The observations at serial number (3) i.e., (object distance 35cm and image distance 37cm is incorrect), because if the object is placed at a distance between f and 2f its image will be formed beyond 2f, while in this observation the object and image distances, both are between f and 2f.
