R = 30 cm,

f =- 30/2   =  -15cm           ( Negative sign for cancave mirror)

m = 5

We know that  m= - v/u

Therefore (-5u) =( v)

Using  (1/v) + (1/u) = (1/f )

    (1/-5u) + ( 1/u) = (1/-15)

Therefore, (5u /4) = -15

Thus, u = -12 cm

The object should be placed at a distance of 12cm from the mirror to get 5 times magnified image.
