m =-1 
 
v = - 30 cm 
a) As the magnification produced due to spherical mirror is -1 it shows that the image is formed at the same side of object and of same size of object. Also it shows that the image is real and inverted. Thus, the nature of mirror is concave mirror. 
 
b)focal length of concave mirror : -
