u=-50cm
f=-20cm
1/f=1/v-1/u
1/-20=1/v-1/-50
1/-20=1/v+1/50
1/v=1/-50-1/20
1/v=-2-5/100
v=100/-7
v=-14.2cm
therefore position of the image is 14.2cm from the optic Centre on the same side of the lens
Nature:
m=v/u
m=-100/7÷-20
m=5/7=0.714
hence the image is virtual, erect and diminished image
f=-20cm
1/f=1/v-1/u
1/-20=1/v-1/-50
1/-20=1/v+1/50
1/v=1/-50-1/20
1/v=-2-5/100
v=100/-7
v=-14.2cm
therefore position of the image is 14.2cm from the optic Centre on the same side of the lens
Nature:
m=v/u
m=-100/7÷-20
m=5/7=0.714
hence the image is virtual, erect and diminished image

Explanation:
The nature and approximate position is trivial. Concave lenses always produce virtual, upright, reduced images closer to the lens than the object.
Use the Lens Formula (here with Real Is Positive convention)
1/v + 1/u = 1/f
1/v = 1/f - 1/u = -1/30 - 1/50 = -5/150 - 3/150 = -8/150
v = -150/8 or 18.75 from the lens, virtual.
M = v/u = -150/8 / +50 = -3/8
(Negative here indicates erect image)
