Heyya!!!
Here is your answer ------------------>

u = -12cm
m(magnification) = 4

m = -v/u

Therefore 4 = -v/-12
v = -48 cm(concave mirror)


Hope it helps
Thanks

shivamp3xf9q: It should be positive right
vinaymenon007: Ya but as it is a concave mirror the image is formed on the left of the image... And according to sign convention it becomes negative.. Hope it helps..

Given:

  • Object is placed in front of concave mirror at a distance of 12 cm.
  • It forms a real image 4x larger than object.

To find:

  • Distance of image from mirror.

Answer:

  • The distance of image from Mirror is 48 cm.

Explanation:

By using formula of Magnification,

Height of Image/Height of Object = -V/U

U = -12    (∵ Negative because, The object is real.)

Height of image/Height of object:

      ⇒ 4/1

      ⇒ -V/-12 = 4/1

      ⇒ 12 × 4

      ⇒ 48 cm

Therefore, Distance of image from mirror is 48 cm.
