Answer: Let object is placed at distance x from plane mirror.
Hence plane mirror would form image of this object at point O’ this will also the image of
object by concave mirror.
Object distance for concave mirror
u  (10  12.5  x )

Image distance v =  (10+12.5 + x)

Now for mirror formula

  
10 (22.5  x ) (22.5  x )
1 1 1 45
   
10 22.5  x 22.5  x (22.5)2  x 2

(22.5)2  x 2  450

 x 2  (22.5)2  450
