A lens is called equi-convex or equi-concave when :
- the radius of curvature of first surface of lens is greater than the radius of curvature of the second surface.
- the radius of curvature of the second surface of the lens is greater than the radius of curvature of the first surface.
- the radius of curvature of the two surfaces of the lens are equal.
- none of the above

Answer
the radius of curvature of the two surfaces of the lens are equal.
Reason — The radius of curvature of the two surfaces of the lens are equal in an equi-convex or equi-concave lens.
