For reflection at concave mirror M1, we have

u=-20 cm f1=-15 cm

Since,1v+1u=1f

  1v1+1(-20)=1(-15)   v1=-60 cm

So, magnificationm1=-v1u=--60-20=-3 (Inverted)

  A'P'=m1(AP)=3×2=6 mm

For reflection at convex mirror M2, we have

u=+10 cm f2=+20 cm

Since 1v+1u=1f

  1v2+110=120   v2=-20 cm

Again, magnification,m2=-v2u=-(-20)10=2
