Given that ; f = 15 cm

                   m = +3 (magnification)

                   u = ?

Now, calculating the distance of the object from the mirror (u),

we know, the mirror formula;

\frac{1}{v}+\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{f}

Here, m=+3,f=-15\: cm

m=\frac{v}{u}=3\; \; \; \; \therefore v =3u

\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{v}+\frac{1}{u}

\frac{1}{-15}=\frac{1}{3u}+\frac{1}{u}

u = -20\; cm

Hence, (u) = 20 is the distance of the object from the mirror.
