ANSWER
It is to be remembered that a convex mirror always forms the virtual, erect and diminished image.
Given: Object distance, u=−10cm Focal length, f=15cm
To find: Image distance, v
From mirror formula :
v

+
u
1
=
f

v

v

v=6cm
Hence image will be formed 6 cm beyond the mirror, i.e virtual magnification
m=
u
−v
=
−10
−6
=0.6
Hence it will be erect and diminished.
