Wehave mirror equation, begin mathsize 12px style 1 over v plus 1 over u equals 1 over f space........................ left parenthesis 1 right parenthesis
end style
where v is image to mirror distance to be calculated
u is object to nirror distance = 48 cm ; f is focal length of convex mirroe = -12 cm ( as per sign convention)
 
hence we can calculate v from eqn.(1) :  begin mathsize 12px style 1 over v space equals space minus 1 over 12 plus 1 over 48 space equals space minus 1 over 16 end style or   v = -16 cm
Hence image is formed at a distance 16 cm from mirror on the back side of mirror.
