How Is the Value of k Determined in Refraction and Reflection Problems?

[zorro]

Homework Statement

A point object is placed at distance of 40 cm from a composite refracting slab whose one face is silvered as shown. The separation between the object and its final image is (100 – k)cm. Find the value of k.

The Attempt at a Solution

I got the separation as 102cm. So k= -2
But the answer given is +2 and I am sure of my answer. Can somebody verify it?
