Question:

Two similar thin equi-convex lenses, of focal f each, are kept coaxially in contact with each other such that the focal length of the combination is F₁. When the space between the two lenses is filled with glycerin (which has the same refractive index (µ = 1.5) as that of glass) then the equivalent focal length is F2. The ratio F₁: F₂ will be
