The magnification m of an image formed by a spherical mirror is negative . it means the image is

a) smaller than the object

b) larger than the object

c) erect d) inverted

For spherical mirrors,

m = - v/u

‘m’ is negative when both ‘v’ and ‘u’ have negative values. That is both object and image are on the same side.

So, the correct option is d. The image is inverted, since, it is real.
