Detailed Solution

Concept: A convex mirror has a negative focal length, while a concave mirror has a positive one. A concave mirror is a spherical mirror that satisfies the rules of light reflection and has an internally curved reflective surface. It is possible to imagine that the light beams coming from a distant object are parallel to one another.
u=- 30cm
=- 20cm
Utilising the mirror formula
1/v+1/u=1/f
So now change the settings.
1/-20+1/-30=1/f
=- 12cm
Hence, option 3 is the correct answer.
