Hey dear,


● Answer -
v = -60 cm
h2 = 15 cm

● Explanation -
# Given -
u = -20 cm
h1 = 5 cm
f = 30 cm

# Solution -
Using mirror formula,
1/f = 1/v - 1/u
1/30 = 1/v - 1/-20
v = -60 cm

Magnification by mirror is calculated by -
M = v/u = h2/h1
h2 = h1 × v / u
h2 = 5 × (-60) / (-20)
h2 = 15 cm

Therefore, Image of size 15 cm is formed 60 cm behind mirror.

Hope this helped...
