Solution

The correct option is B 6 cm behind the convex mirror

For mirror M1, O act as an object.
Let its image be I1.
Then u=15 cm,f=10 cm
1v115=110v=30 cm
Image I1 will act as an object for mirror M2 its distance from mirror M2
u1=(4030) cm=10 cm
So 1v1+1u1=1f1v1+110=115v1=+6 cm
Therefore, image I2 is formed at a distance 6 cm behind the convex mirror and is virtual.
