Convex is magnifying glass, makes image larger. So its behavior is making big +ve. Concave is indicated as -ve.
Now three lenses are combined to make single lens. To get the property of new lens we have to find out its focal length, it can be calculated by 1/f = 1/f1+1/f2+1/f3.
f1 = f2 = 60, f3 = 15. You will get f = 30.

1/f =- (1/f1) - (1/f2) + (1/f3).
1/f =- (1/60) - (1/60) + (1/15).
1/f =- (1/30) + (1/15).
1/f = 15/450.
1/f = 1/30.
So, f = 30.
1/f =- (1/60) - (1/60) + (1/15).
1/f =- (1/30) + (1/15).
1/f = 15/450.
1/f = 1/30.
So, f = 30.

1/f = 1/f1 + 1/f2.
1/60 = 1/15 + 1/f2.
So, f2 = 30.
1/60 = 1/15 + 1/f2.
So, f2 = 30.

We know that the focal length of the concave lens is negative and convex lens is positive then the focal length of the combination can be found out by using lens formula.

It's a three lens combination so I agree with you @Sammer Kashmiri.

Two concave lens = 60cm and convex lens = 15cm,
then 1/f = -1/f1 - 1/f2 + 1/f3
= -1/60 - 1/60 + 1/15
= -1/60 - 1/60 + 4/60
= 4 - 2/60
= 2/60
= 1/30.
So, the combination is 30 cm.
then 1/f = -1/f1 - 1/f2 + 1/f3
= -1/60 - 1/60 + 1/15
= -1/60 - 1/60 + 4/60
= 4 - 2/60
= 2/60
= 1/30.
So, the combination is 30 cm.

Yes, you are correct @Lokesh.

1/60 = 1/15 + 1/f2
if we solve, it is coming 20.
Then how it is 30? Anyone explain me.

How come 1/30?
