Explanation / Answer

The image formed by a plane mirror is errect?, virtual, the same size as the object, and is located as far behind the mirror as the object is in front of it. This image acts like a object to the converging front lens. The surface of converging front lens is acts like a diverging lens and the virtaul object is above the focallength distance. Thus, the final image should be Real, Reduced, errect.
