Detailed Solution

For the given conditions, the position of the object should be between the pole of the mirror and the principal focus of the mirror.
Virtual images are those images that can not be obtained on the screen. For the image formed by a concave mirror to be virtual, erect, and magnified, the position of the object should be between the pole of the mirror and its principal focus. In this case, the image will form behind the mirror.
