How is it convenient to obtain image by reflection from spherical mirror ?

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 Fig. 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 this set up is kept in a medium of refractive index 7//6 , the magnification becomes M_2 . The magnitude ((M_2)/(M_1)) is : .

In figure , L is half part of an equiconvex glass lens (mu=1.5) whose surfaces have radius of curvature R =40cm and its right surface is silvered .

A small object O is placed on left of the lens such that there is no parallax between final images formed by the lens and mirror. If transverse length of final image formed by lens is twice that of image formed by the mirror , calculate distance'a' in cm between lens and object.
