object distance, u = - 15 cm 
image distance, v = ?
focal length = -10 cm (focal length of concave mirror)
 
1 over f equals 1 over u plus 1 over v
fraction numerator 1 over denominator negative 10 end fraction equals fraction numerator 1 over denominator negative 15 end fraction plus 1 over v

1 over v space equals fraction numerator 1 over denominator negative 10 end fraction space minus space space open parentheses fraction numerator 1 over denominator negative 15 end fraction close parentheses
1 over v space equals space fraction numerator 1 over denominator negative 10 end fraction plus fraction numerator 1 over denominator negative 15 end fraction
1 over v space equals space fraction numerator negative 15 space plus space left parenthesis negative 10 right parenthesis over denominator 150 space end fraction
1 over v equals space fraction numerator negative 5 over denominator 150 space end fraction
v space equals space minus space 30 space c m space
 
Negative sign indicate that the image will be formed on same side as that of object. 
Thus, image is real and inverted. 
 
m = - v/u = - (-30/-15) = - 2 
 
Thus magnification of the image is -2. 
Negative sign indicates that the image formed is inverted and value 2 inidicates that the image formed is twice the size of the object. 
Thus,nature of image is real, inverted and magnified.
