As thickness of glass slab is 20 cm and its μ=(3/2),  so shift produced by it will be x=d[11μ]=20[123]=203cm  (towards the mirror)
 

Question Image


The image of object in the mirror is  1003 cm from the mirror. The glass slab shift this image towards the observer by  203cm.
Therefore the position of the final image from the mirror w.r.t observer is 1003203=803 cm
