Solution

The correct options are
A The radius of curvature of curved surface of plano-convex lens is equal to half of radius of curvature of a surface of equi-convex lens of focal length 20 cm
B A object placed at15 cm on the axis on the convex side of silvered plano-convex lens gives rise to an image at a distance of 30 cm from it
D Silvered plano-convex lens acts as a concave mirror of focal length 10 cm
For plano-convex lens 1f=(μ1)R
For equi-convex lens 1f=(μ1)2R

R=R2 (choice A is correct)
Let F be the focal length of silvered plano-convex lens
1F=2(μ1)R+1=2(μ1)R
Given 1f=120=(μ1)R
F = 10cm (it acts as concave mirror) choice (D) is correct
1u+1v=1F
If u = 15cm, 1v=110115=3230=130
v=30
If u = 20cm, 1v=110120=120v=20 (choice B is correct).
