u= -30cm
f= +20cm
ho= +1cm
Using mirror formula,
1/v+1/u=1/f
1/v+1/-30=1/20
1/v-1/30=1/20
1/v=1/20+1/30
1/v=3+2/60
1/v=5/60=1/12
=>v= +12cm
Therefore, the image will be formed at a distance of 12cm behind the mirror.
m= -v/u
m= -12/-30
m= +0.4
m=hi/ho
0.4=hi/ho
0.4=hi/1
=>hi= +0.4cm
Therefore, the image formed is diminished in size.

1/v=1/20+1/30
1/v=3+2/60
1/v=5/60=1/12
=>v= +12cm
so the image will be formed at a distance of 12cm behind the mirror.
m= -v/u
m= -12/-30
m= +0.4
m=hi/ho
0.4=hi/ho
0.4=hi/1
=>hi= +0.4cm
so the image formed is diminished in size.
