Answer Key / Explanation : (d) -

(d)

If initially the objective (focal length ) forms the image at distance  then

Now as in case of lenses in contact

So if one of the lens is removed, the focal length of the remaining lens system

This lens will form the image of same object at a distance  such that

So to refocus the image, eye-piece must be moved by the same distance through which the image formed by the objective has shifted
