best_answer

Focal length, f = -15 cm

Image distance, v = -10 cm ( As in case of the concave lens image is formed on the same side as the object is placed)

Let the object distance be u. 

As per the lens formula

\\\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{v}-\frac{1}{u}\\ \frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{v}-\frac{1}{f}\\ \frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{-10}-\frac{1}{-25}\\ v=-30\ cm

The object is placed at a distance of 30 cm from the lens.
