Dear Student ,
Here in this case the equivalent focal length of the system when
the convex lens is in contact with the plane mirror is ,
1F=115+1∞=115⇒F=15 cmNow as the candle is placed in the focal plane of the lens thenthe image will be produced at 15 cm in front of the mirror and the image will be real 
So the correct option is 1
