Apply thin lens equation:


1f=1o+1i, i=ofof=(10)(15)(10)(15)=30 cm.\dfrac 1f=\dfrac 1o+\dfrac1i,\\\space\\ i=\dfrac{of}{o-f}=\dfrac{(-10)(-15)}{(-10)-(-15)}=30\text{ cm}.


From magnification, find the image height:


M=io=hihohi=hoio=53010=15 cm.M=-\dfrac io=\dfrac{h_i}{h_o}→h_i=-\dfrac{h_oi}{o}=-\dfrac{5·30}{-10}=15\text{ cm}.
