$A$ thin biconvex lens is prepared from glass $(mu = 1.5)$ where both curved surfaces have equal radii of $20 \text{ cm}$ each. The left side surface of the lens is silvered from the outside to make it reflecting. To have the position of the image and the object at the same place, the object should be placed from the lens at a distance of . . . . . . $\text{cm}$.

Consider a concave mirror and a convex lens (refractive index $=1.5$) of focal length $10 \ cm$ each,separated by a distance of $50 \ cm$ in air (refractive index $=1$) as shown in the figure. An object is placed at a distance of $15 \ cm$ from the mirror. Its erect image formed by this combination has magnification $M_1$. When the setup is kept in a medium of refractive index $7/6$,the magnification becomes $M_2$. The magnitude $\left|\frac{M_2}{M_1}\right|$ is
