$A$ plano-convex lens,when silvered at its plane surface,is equivalent to a concave mirror of focal length $28 \, cm$. When its curved surface is silvered and the plane surface is not silvered,it is equivalent to a concave mirror of focal length $10 \, cm$. Find the refractive index of the material of the lens.

The two surfaces of a biconvex lens have the same radii of curvature. This lens is made of glass of refractive index $1.5$ and has a focal length $10 \ cm$ in air. The lens is cut into two equal halves along a plane perpendicular to its principal axis to yield two plano-convex lenses. The two pieces are glued such that the convex surfaces touch each other. If this combination lens is immersed in water (refractive index $= 4/3$), its focal length (in $cm$) is:
