Image distance from the mirror = Object distance from the mirror = 10 cm

So, distance of the object from its image = 10 cm + 10 cm = 20 cm

Image distance from the mirror = Object distance from the mirror = 10 cm So, distance of the object from its image = 10 cm + 10 cm = 20 cm

Image distance from the mirror = Object distance from the mirror = 10 cm

So, distance of the object from its image = 10 cm + 10 cm = 20 cm
