When an object is placed at a distance of $25 \ cm$ from a concave mirror,the magnification is $m_1$. The object is moved $15 \ cm$ farther away with respect to the earlier position and the magnification becomes $m_2$. If $m_1/m_2 = 4$,the focal length of the mirror is $....... \ cm$ (Assume image is real and $m_1, m_2$ are numerical values).
