Q.

An optical arrangement consists of two concave mirrors M1 and M2 and a convex lens L with a common principal axis, as shown in the figure. The focal length of L is 10 cm. The radii of curvature of M1 and M2 are 20cm and 24cm, respectively. The distance between L and M2 is 20cm. A point object S is placed at the mid-point between L and M2 on the axis. When the distance between L and M1 is n7cm, one of the images coincides with S. The value of n is _______.

1V+110=112              1V=110112 V=+60 U=60+20 U=80 1V180=110 V=807
This image should be at centre of curvature of M1 (or) at pole of M1 for the image to be formed at object itself 
distance between M & L can be 807  Or 20+807 =2207
n = 80 or 220
If lens forms first image then it becomes parallel light beam and falls on mirror which forms image at 10cm from M1 then it again falls on lens and then again it M2 and finally image is formed at object.  
180+1x10=110 1x10=880180 x10807 x=1507
