The correct answer is: $18 \mathrm{~cm}, 2 \mathrm{~cm}$
$\frac{\mathrm{f}_{0}}{\mathrm{f}_{\mathrm{e}}}=9, \quad \therefore \mathrm{f}_{0}=9 \mathrm{f}_{\mathrm{e}}$

Also $\mathrm{f}_{0}+\mathrm{f}_{\mathrm{e}}=20(\because$ final image is at infinity $)$ $9 \mathrm{f}_{\mathrm{e}}+\mathrm{f}_{\mathrm{e}}=20, \mathrm{f}_{\mathrm{e}}=2 \mathrm{~cm}, \quad \therefore \mathrm{f}_{0}=18 \mathrm{~cm}$
