At a distance of 90cm

alfredmelwin25p5fmxx: hope it helps
Mattupallinikitha: Can I know the procedure
nandanadileep26: I got it as -120
alfredmelwin25p5fmxx: the object distance is 60cm which is against the incident Ray so negative
alfredmelwin25p5fmxx: magnification is 0.5 which is positive for a convex mirror
alfredmelwin25p5fmxx: we know the magnification formula, use it to get image distance
alfredmelwin25p5fmxx: then instead of magnification as 1÷2,take as 1÷3,then substitute image distance but leave the object distance as unknown
alfredmelwin25p5fmxx: transpose we will get the answer
