Can a concave mirror form a virtual image of same size as the object?

Use the mirror equation to show that : (a) an object placed between f and 2f of a concave mirror produces a real image beyond 2f. (b) a convex mirror always produces a virtual image independent of the location of the object. (c) an object placed between the pole and focus of a concave mirror produces a virtual and enlarged image.
