question mark

a diverging lens of focal length 20 cm and a converging mirror of focal length 10 cm are placed coaxially at a separation of 5 cm. where should an object be placed so that a real image is formed at the object itself?

Diverging lens =f= -20cm
 
converging mirror = f= 10cm
 
Let the object to placed at a distance x from the lens further away from the mirror.
 
 
For the concave lens (1st refraction)
 
 
u= - x
 
 
f= -20cm
 
 
1/v-1/u=1/f
 
 
1/v= - 1/20 -1/x
 
 
v= - (20x/x+20)
 
 
Virtual image formed due to first refraction forms as object for concave mirror.
 
 
for mirror :
 
 
1/f=1/u+1/v
 
 
u= -(5+20x/x+20)
 
 
= -(25x+100/ x+20)
 
 
f= -10cm
 
 
1/v= - 1/10 +x+20/25x +100
 
 
on solving we get
 
 
v= 50(x+4)/3x-20
 
 
 
Image will formed towards left of mirror  
 
For second refraction in concave lens:
 
 
u= - [5- 50(x+4)/ 3x-20]
 
 
let v=+x
 
 
1/v-1/u=1/f
 
 
1/x+1/[5- 50(x+4)]/ 3x-20 = -1/20
 
 
25x²- 1400x-6000=0
 
 
x²-56x-240=0
 
 
(x-60)(x+4)=0  
 
x= 60cm
 
 
object should be placed at a distance of 60cm from lens farther away from mirror so that final image is formed on itself
