A teacher gives a convex lens and a concave mirror of focal length of about 20 cm each to his student and asks him to find their focal lengths by obtaining the image of a distant object. The student uses a distant tree as the object and obtains its sharp image, one by one, on a screen. The distance d1 and d2 between the mirror and the screen in the two cases and the nature of their respective sharp images are likely to be—
