    Solution:

    The focal length of a concave  mirror when an object is placed at a distance of 15 cm and the image formed at 10 cm in front of the mirror will be 6 cm (front of the mirror).
    Given,
    The Focal length of the concave mirror, = -10 cm
    Distance of  the object from the mirror, = -15 cm
    Now using the mirror formula;
    1v+1u=1f 1f=-110+-115
    1f=-16
    Therefore,  = - 6 cm
    Since it’s a concave mirror, the negative sign indicates the image is formed in front of the mirror.
