Answer:

15 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

using the thin lens formula for convex lens


(1)/(f) = (1)/(p) + (1)/(q)\\ \\where f = focal length \\ p = object distance \\ q = image distance\\

so,


(1)/(q) = (1)/(f) - (1)/(p) \\\\(1)/(q) = (1)/(10) - (1)/(30) \\(1)/(q) = (2)/(30)\\(1)/(q) = (1)/(15cm)

so,

q = 15 cm
