The correct answer is: 400

In 10 s, the object will travel distance =2×10=20 cm

After 10 sec, the object will be at distance u=20-100=-80 m.

Focal length of the concave mirror is  f=R2=2002=-100 cm

Using mirror formula,

1v+1u=1f

1v=-1100+180v=800020

v=400 cm

Position of image from the mirror is at 400 cm.
