The correct answer is:
Real and at a distance of from the mirror
Object is placed at distance 2 from the lens. So first image will be formed at distance 2 on other side. This image will behave like a virtual object for mirror. The second image will be formed at distance 20 cm in front of the mirror, or at distance 10 cm to the left hand side of the lens.
Now applying lens formula

Therefore, the final image is at distance 16 cm from the mirror. But, this image will be real.
This is because ray of light is travelling from right to left.
