The correct answer is: $20 \mathrm{~cm}$
We know that $P_{\mathrm{eq}}=\Sigma \mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{i}}$
$\therefore$ given all lenses are identical
$\begin{aligned}
& \therefore 5 P=25 D \\
& \therefore P=5 D \\
& \therefore \frac{1}{f}=5 \Rightarrow f=\frac{1}{5} \mathrm{~m}=20 \mathrm{~cm}
\end{aligned}$
Hence option (1)
