As we know that the relation between focal length f, the distance between screen D and distance between two locations of the object d is :

f=\frac{D^2-d^2}{4D}

Given:D = 90 cm.,d = 20 cm , 

so 

f=\frac{90^2-20^2}{4*90}

f=\frac{90^2-20^2}{4*90}=\frac{770}{36}=21.39cm

Hence the focal length of the convex lens is 21.39 cm.
