Answer 1

Explanation:

no there will be half of image of candle formed on the mirror because the mirror is covered half with black paper which cannot able to produce a sharp full image justified

Answer 2

Yes,

if one half of a concave mirror of radius of curvature 20 cm is covered with a black paper. A candle flame is placed in front of the mirror at a distance of 15 cm.,the mirror will produce a complete image of the flame on the screen.

There would not be any kind of change in the real image but the brightness of the candle will be quite low because some parts of the rays that forms the image of an object will be hindered,and that's why the image will be minimized.

The diagram is given in the picture below.
