### Step-by-Step Solution **(a)** To determine the position of the object for which the image formed by a concave mirror is magnified and erect, we need to consider the properties of concave mirrors. 1. **Understanding Concave Mirrors**: A concave mirror can produce both real and virtual images depending on the position of the object relative to the mirror's focal point (F) and its pole (P). 2. **Positioning the Object**: For the image to be magnified and erect, the object must be placed between the pole (P) and the focus (F) of the concave mirror. ...
