According to what is given in the question,I assume it to be an ideal mirror with small aperture.We know that focal length is given by
                                                           f=\frac{R}{2}
where R is the radius of curvature of the mirror.
So the focal length of the lens is 0.25 m or 25 cm
I hope it Helps
