Solution
Magnification is the ratio of image size to object size m=image size/object size m=h/h’ (h is size/height) negative magnification means that the image is inverted compared to the object. convex mirror always produces a diminished image (absolute magnification will be less than 1) thus the mirror is concave. to get magnification -1 ,the object should be placed at center and the image will be formed at center itself(inverted).
