An object is placed at a distance of 12   cm from a convex lens. A convex mirror of focal length 15   cm is placed on another side of the lens at 8   cm as shown in the figure. The image of the object coincides with the object. When the convex mirror is removed, a real and inverted image is formed at a position. The distance of the image from the object will be _ _ _   cm
Correct answer
50
Step-by-step solution
For the object to coincide with the image, the light must fall perpendicularly to the mirror. This means that the light will have to converge at C of the mirror. Without the mirror also, the light would coverage at C . So the distance is: = 12 + 8 + 30 = 50   cm .
