Question Image

Position of the image formed by lens.
1v1u=1f1v+160=1301v=130160=160
v = 60 cm
So, position of the image is (60 - 40) = 20 cm behind the plane mirror, it acts as a virtual object. So final image is a real image 20 cm from the plane mirror. This real image will act as an object for the lens and final image is
1v+120=1301v=160
v = -60cm from lens
i.e., 20 cm behind the plane mirror.
