Q.

Consider a concave mirror and a convex lens (refractive index = 1.5) of focal length 10 cm each, separated by a distance of 50 cm in air (refractive index =1) as shown in the figure. An object is placed at a distance of 15 cm from the mirror. Its erect image formed by this combination has magnification  M1. When the set-up is kept in a medium of refractive index  76,  the magnification becomes  M2. The magnitude |M2M1|  is

Applying mirror formula 1v+1u=1f  or  1v=1f1w=110+115
                  1v=15+10150=5150=130      v=30  cm
And magnification,  m1=vu=3015=2
Question Image

Now for refraction  from lens,  u=(5030)=20cm
 1v1u=1f11v120=110
1v=110120=120       v=20cm 
Magnification,  m2=vu=2020=1
Magnification produced by the combination, 
 M1=m1×m2=(2)×(1)=2
Again, when  system  is kept in a medium  of refractive index 7/6.
There is no change for mirror in this case, 
For lens,  1fl'=(μlμs1)(1R11R2)
 1fl'=(3/27/61)(1R11R2)   1fl'=27(1R11R2)
Also, when lens was in  air  1fl=(1.51)(1R11R2)=110     (1R11R2)=15 
Using this result in eqn. (i), we get 
 1f1'=27×15     fl'=352cm
Again using lens formula,  1v1u=1fl'
1v120=2351v=235120=1140v=140cm 
Magnification,  1v120=2351v=235120=1140v=140cm
Magnification produced by the combination, 
M2=m1×m2'=(2)×(7)=14

                        |M2M1|=142=7
