1%2Ff=1%2Fo%2B1%2Fi
where f = focal length, o = object distance, i = image distance
Given, o = 2000000 mm, f = 250 mm.
Substituting these in the given equation
1%2F250=1%2F2000000%2B1%2Fi
1%2Fi=1%2F2000000+-+1%2F250
1%2Fi=%281-8000%29%2F2000000
i=-2000000%2F7999=-250 mm (approximately)

P.S.: The minus sign indicates that the object and image are on the opposite sides of the lens.
