The condition for achromatism is
\mathrm{\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{\omega_1 P_1+\omega_2 P_2=0} \\ &\mathrm{ \omega_1 P_1=-\omega_2 P_2 \Rightarrow \frac{\omega_1}{\omega_2}=-\frac{P_2}{P_1}} \end{aligned}}
\mathrm{Now, P_1+P_2=2 D\ or\ 5+P_2=2\ or\ P_2=-3 D} \\ \mathrm{\therefore \quad \frac{\omega_1}{\omega_2}=-\frac{-3}{5}=\frac{3}{5}}
