u1 = 20cm

f1 = 15cm

therefore 1/v1 = 1/u1 + 1/f1

1/v1 = 1/20 + 1/15

1/v1 = 7/60

v1 = 60/7

now object is shifted 

two cases arise 1)- object moved away from second lens 2)- object is moved towards the lens

v2 = 60/7

u2 = 35 , 25

therefore the two possible focal lenghts will come out as 420/37cm  and 300/23cm respectively.
