A convex lens of focal length $15 \mathrm{~cm}$ is placed in front of a plane mirror at a distance $25 \mathrm{~cm}$ from the mirror. Where on the optical axis and from the centre of the lens should a small object be placed such that the final image coincides with the object?

  • Correct answer
    A
    $15 \mathrm{~cm}$ and on the opposite side of the mirror
  • B
    $15 \mathrm{~cm}$ and between the mirror and the lens
  • C
    $7.5 \mathrm{~cm}$ and on the opposite side of the mirror
  • D
    $7.5 \mathrm{~cm}$ and between the mirror and the lens

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
