(i) He should use a concave mirror.
(ii) The linear magnification is given by the relation: m --vu
object distanceu=-15cm
Image distancev =-60 cm
m=-4
(iii) The distance between the object and the image is: 60-15 =45 cm.
(iv)The Ray diagram is as follows:
The nature of the image formed is: real, inverted, magnified and beyond 21
