The rays converging in case of sun is at the focus. Thus the focus is at 10 cm. 
Now your object is placed between focus and centre of curvature in front of a concave mirror so the image formed would be inverted and real. To find the height use following formula-
 \frac{height of image}{height of object}= \frac{focal length}{focal length-object distance}
= \frac{height of image}{2}=  \frac{-10}{-10+15}
= \frac{height of image}{2} = \frac{-10}{5}
=height of image= -2*2=-4 cm
