Answer 2

Explanation:

Mirror formula = 1/f = 1/v + 1/u

In case of convex mirror focal length is positive

u is always negative

As we all know

R = 2f

now f = 3/2 = 1.5 m

putting the values,

1/1.5 = 1/v - 1/5

on solving we get, v = 15/13 m or 1.15 m

Now the object is placed between the pole and infinity, then the image will be between P and F, diminished, virtual and erect...
