When two lenses are kept in contact, powers of the lenses are simply added.
Power of a lens is positive for convex lens and negative for concave lens.
Numerically power of a lens is given by 100 f were f is focal length in centimeters.
As numerically, focal length is same but opposite in size, combined power will be
Zero i.e. focal length is i.e. it is just equivalent to plane glass,
