Answer:
-1/f =-1/u-1/v (- sign is because of sign convection)
= -1/30-1/12
=-7/60

The focal length of the mirror is (-20 cm) and formed image is virtual and erect.
Explanation:
Given that,
The object distance between the object and the concave mirror, u = 30 cm
Image formed at a distance of 12 cm from the pole, v = -12 cm
We need to find the focal length of the mirror. It can be calculated using mirror's formula such that :
f = -20 cm
So, the focal length of the mirror is (-20 cm). The ratio of image distance to the object distance is called magnification of the mirror. It is given by :
m = 0.4
So, the formed image is virtual and erect. Hence, this is the required solution.
