Solution

Image formation by a concave mirror when an object is placed a little beyond the center of curvature of the mirror:
In this instance, we take into account two distinct rays that are emanating from the object.
One is parallel to the principal axis, while the other is pointed in the direction of the mirror's center of curvature.
These rays after reflection from an image between the center of curvature (C) and the focus (F).
The image thus formed is diminished, real, and inverted.
