Solution
The correct option is A20 cm behind the mirror Given focal length of the lens =10 cm and distance between lens and mirror =10 cm
As the object is at infinity its image will produce in focal length.Now as a plane mirror is placed at a distance of 10 cm from the diverging lens its enlarged image will produce on the mirror.
Thus the final image will produce at a distance of 20 cm behind the mirror
