First figure shows the refraction taking place when light rays from object O incident on front surface of glass window.
Light rays enters from air ( n1 = 1 ) to glass ( n2 = 1.5 ), where n represents refractive index
Image distance is determined from the following equation for refraction at spherical surace .

where v = image distance = AI1
u = object distance = AO = -60 cm
R = radius of curvature = 15 cm

From above expression , we get AI1 = 90 cm
Now first image I1 is acting as object for the spherical surface of window which is inside water.
Light rays enters from water ( n2 = 1.333 ) to glass ( n1 = 1.5 ), where n represents refractive index
Image distance is determined from eqn.(1) by using proper sign convention


We get final image distance BI2 = 45 cm from above expression
