Where is the image formed when an object is placed between the principal focus $(F)$ and the center of curvature $(C)$ of a concave mirror?

An object $5\, cm$ high is kept $25\, cm$ away from a converging lens (convex lens) of focal length $10\, cm$. What is the nature,position,and size of the image?

The size of an image of an object formed by a mirror with a focal length of $20\, cm$ is observed to be reduced to $1/3^{rd}$ of its size. At what distance is the object placed from the mirror? What is the nature of the image and the mirror?

What is the mirror formula for a spherical mirror?

$(a)$ Write the relation between $u, v, f$ for lenses and for mirrors,where $u, v, f$ are object distance,image distance,and focal length respectively.
$(b)$ The magnification produced by a concave mirror is $m = +4$. Write the information about the image given by this statement.
$(c)$ Draw a ray diagram for the following and show the formation of the images in the case of a concave mirror when the object is placed:
$(i)$ Between the pole and the focus point.
$(ii)$ At the centre of curvature.
