Detailed Solution

The object should be placed at the radius of curvature for it to form image at the same place.

So, Focal length is half of radius of curvature.

Applying this in power formula for combination of lens and mirror:

Ptot =2×Plens +Pmirror Ptot =1α/2=2dPlens=10.1m=10D

Equating both :

2d=2×10D2d=20Dd=110m=10cm
