Detailed Solution

Substituting the sign of f only in the mirror formula, we have1v+1u=1+f

1v=1f-1u

For real image v should be negative and for this u should be positive and less than f. Object distance u is positive means object should be virtual and lying between P and F.

The ray diagram is as shown below.
