Best answer

Refraction from lens; `1/v_1-1/-20=1/15`

so, v=60 cm  `->` +ve direction 

Ie, first image is formed at 60 cm to the right of lens system.

Reflection from mirror:

After reflection from the mirror , the second image will be formed at a distance of 60 cm to the left of lens system.

`1/v_3-1/60=1/15` `larr` +ve direction 

Or `v_3=12  cm`

Therefore, the final image is formed at 12 cm to the left of the lens system.
