The correct answer is: Real and at a distance of 40 cm from convergent lens


Diverging lens forms the image at its focus. The image formed by diverging lens is the object for converging lens.

Distance of the object from converging lens is 40 cm i.e., object is at double focal point.

Image forms at double focal point on the other side of the lens.

1v-1-40=120
1v+140=120
1v=120-140=140
v=40
