(N/A) Consider an object $AB$ placed perpendicular to the principal axis beyond the center of curvature $C$ of a concave mirror.
$A$ ray $AM$ from point $A$ incident on the mirror at $M$ reflects through the principal focus $F$.
$A$ ray $AP$ from point $A$ incident on the pole $P$ reflects back following the law of reflection,such that $\angle APB = \angle A'PB'$.
These reflected rays intersect at $A'$,forming a real image $A'B'$.
Let $FP = f$ (focal length),$CP = R$ (radius of curvature),$BP = u$ (object distance),and $B'P = v$ (image distance).
For paraxial rays,$MP$ can be considered a straight line perpendicular to the principal axis.
The right-angled triangles $\triangle A'B'F$ and $\triangle MPF$ are similar.
Therefore,$\frac{B'A'}{PM} = \frac{B'F}{FP}$. Since $PM = AB$,we have $\frac{B'A'}{AB} = \frac{B'F}{FP} = \frac{B'P - FP}{FP} = \frac{v - f}{f} \quad \dots (1)$
Similarly,$\triangle A'B'P$ and $\triangle ABP$ are similar.
Therefore,$\frac{B'A'}{AB} = \frac{B'P}{BP} = \frac{v}{u} \quad \dots (2)$
Equating $(1)$ and $(2)$,we get $\frac{v - f}{f} = \frac{v}{u}$.
Dividing by $v$,we get $\frac{1}{f} - \frac{1}{v} = \frac{1}{u}$,which simplifies to the mirror equation: $\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{v} + \frac{1}{u}$.

$A$ 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.....$cm$.
