Detailed Solution

O point will appear at its original position, & for point A, refraction from outer surface

$\frac{1}{v} - \frac{3 / 2}{- 5} = \frac{1 - \frac{3}{2}}{- 10} \frac{1}{v} = \frac{1}{20} - \frac{3}{10} = \frac{- 5}{20} = - \frac{1}{4}$

$\Rightarrow v = - 4 c m \Rightarrow$ distance from $O = 10 - 4 = 6 c m$
