Answer:
Answer
Correct option is
A
4 cm, real
According to new cartesian sign convention,
Object distance, u=−15 cm
Focal length of the concave mirror, f=−10 cm
Height of the object, h
0
=2 cm
According to mirror formula,
v

or v=−30 cm
The image is formed at a distance of 30 cm from the mirror on the same side of the object.
It is a real image.

Negative sign shows that image is inverted.
The image is real, inverted, of size 4 cm at
