Detailed Solution

The object should be placed in between the pole(P) and the focus point(f) of the mirror to get an erect and enlarged image.
A concave mirror has a reflecting surface that is curved inward and away from the light source. Light converges at a point when the light strikes the reflecting surface of the mirror. A Concave mirror forms a real, erect, virtual and enlarged image according to the position of the object. Hence, when the object is placed in between the pole and focus point, then the image formed is virtual, erect and enlarged.
