I have a doubt. Why we use hardly any effort. Not other anyone? Kindly explain it.

"at all"won't be used after "hardly any effort".

Hardly itself a negative meaning. So there is no need to use not. And For negative sentence we have to use "any".

I want to know whether can hardly any. And. At all can come subsequently in the same sentence?
