Focal length of concave mirror f = -10 cm Height of the object ho = 2 cm

Height of the image hi = 6 cm Magnification m = hi/ho = 6/2 = 3 (erect image)

m = -v/u

3 = -v/u

⇒ v = -3u

Mirror formula: 1/v + 1/u = 1/f

1/(-3u) + 1/u = 1/(-10)

⇒ u = -20/3 = -6.7 cm

So the object should be placed at a distance of 6.7 cm from the pole of the concave mirror (on the left, in front of the mirror).
