The correct answer is: 225

For the refraction at the left surface, u=-, R=+15 cm.

μ2v-μ1u=μ2-μ1R

1.5v1-1-=1.5-1+15

v1=45 cm

For the refraction at the right surface, u=45-30=15 cm, R=-15 cm

μ2v-μ1u=μ2-μ1R

1v2-1.515=1-1.5-15

v2=7.5 cm

Therefore, the distance from the centre where the beam will converge is,

15+7.5=22.5 cm=225 mm
