Dear student
 
Here the plane mirror and the convex mirror both form the image at the same position.
Object distance from the plane mirror=30 cm
So, Image distance =30 cm (Behind the mirror)
Thus formed image is at a distance of 10 cm behind the convex mirror.
Now,
For convex mirror,
u=-50 cm
v=10 cm
Using mirror formula,
1/v +1/u=1/f
1/10 -1/50=1/f
or f=12.5 cm
So R=2f=25 cm
