We find that the child's image in the magic mirror has
1. Head bigger and hence the mirror must be a concave mirror. A concave mirror here is producing an enlarged and erect mirror.
2. The middle portion unaltered and hence the middle part of the mirror must be a plane mirror.
3. The bottom part of the mirror produces a smaller image of the legs. The image is smaller since it is produced by a convex mirror. The convex mirror produced the erect and diminished image.

A Concave mirror is also called a converging mirror, has a reflecting surface away from the incident light.

Plane mirror is a flat reflecting surface where angle of reflection is equal to angle of incidence.

Convex Mirror is also called the diverging mirror.

Now according to the question at the top it is concave mirror because the boy finds the image bigger it means converging image, on the middle part it is found the image is of same size so it is plane mirror and at the bottom the image becomes smaller that is the image diverges so it is convex mirror.
