Detailed Solution

First, let's consider the situation where the mirror is out of place.
We are given that the object is placed at a distance of 15cm from the lens and the focal length of the lens is 10 cm. So we can write:
u=-15cm and f=10cm convex lens.
1v=1f+1u

putting values:
1v=110+1(-15)

or

v=(-15 X 10)(-15+10)=+30cm
Now, to determine the image size, a convex lens magnification formula is used:
M=hiho=-vu

where ho is image length,
hi is the object length, v is the image range and u is the object range.
We may change this formula as:
hi=-vuX ho

Where we know the values ​​are u = 15 cm, v = 30 cm, and ho = 4cm.
To preserve these treasures,
hi=-3015 X 4 cm

hi=2 X 4 cm

hi=8cm
So the image size is 8 cm. The built-in image will be converted.

Now, when we place the mirror on another lens focus light will appear on the screen and will create a realistic image when it is detected on the screen. The flight screen does not give any additional difference in the path it emits. It just sends light to the other side. If we produce its path behind a mirror, we will be able to see that the image behind the mirror is similar to the one created by the lens.
