Both the mirrors have equal focal length f.They will produce one image under two conditions.
Case I: When the source is at distance ‘2f’ from each mirror i.e. the source is at centre of curvature of the mirrors, the image will be produced at the same point S. So, d = 2f + 2f = 4f.
Case II: When the source S is at distance ‘f’ from each mirror, the rays from the source after reflecting from one mirror will become parallel and so these parallel rays after the reflection from the other mirror the object itself. So, only sine image is formed.
Here, d = f + f = 2f
