    If an object is placed 10 cm in front of a concave mirror of focal length 20 cm, the image will be

    A)  diminished, upright, virtual

    B)  enlarged, upright, virtual

    C)  diminished, inverted, real

    D)  enlarged, upright, real

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[u=-10cm\] \[f=-20cm\] Using mirror formula,                 \[\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{v}+\frac{1}{u}\]                 \[-\frac{1}{20}=\frac{1}{v}+\frac{1}{(-10)}\] \[\therefore \]  \[\frac{1}{v}=-\frac{1}{20}+\frac{1}{10}=\frac{1}{20}\]                 \[v=20cm\] Magnification \[(m)=-\frac{v}{u}=-\frac{20}{(-10)}\]                 \[=2\] Therefore, magnified (enlarged), upright and  virtual image is formed.
