(N/A) The mirror equation relates the object distance $(u)$,the image distance $(v)$,and the focal length $(f)$ of a spherical mirror. It is given by the formula:
$\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{v} + \frac{1}{u}$
Where:
$f$ is the focal length of the mirror.
$v$ is the distance of the image from the pole of the mirror.
$u$ is the distance of the object from the pole of the mirror.

$A$ convex lens (of focal length $20\, cm$) and a concave mirror,having their principal axes along the same lines,are kept $80\, cm$ apart from each other. The concave mirror is to the right of the convex lens. When an object is kept at a distance of $30\, cm$ to the left of the convex lens,its image remains at the same position even if the concave mirror is removed. The maximum distance of the object for which this concave mirror,by itself,would produce a virtual image would be.....$cm$.
