Detailed Solution

for convex lens u = 40 cm
F = 15 cm, v = ?
$\begin{array}{l} \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{v} - \frac{1}{u} \\ v = + ve, u = - ve \\ \frac{1}{15} = \frac{1}{v} + \frac{1}{40} \Rightarrow \frac{1}{v} = \frac{1}{15} + \frac{1}{40} \Rightarrow \frac{1}{v} = \frac{1}{24} \\ v = 24 cm \end{array}$

For concave mirror f = 10 cm, u = 10 cm
u = f $\Rightarrow$ image is formed of infinity
$\Rightarrow$ two parallel incident ray incident on convex lens
$\begin{array}{l} \Rightarrow u = \infty, f = 15 cm \\ \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{v} - \frac{1}{u} \\ \frac{1}{15} = \frac{1}{v} + \frac{1}{\infty} \\ \frac{1}{v} = \frac{1}{15} \\ v = 15 cm \end{array}$
