Solution
The correct option is D2d1d2d1−d2 Since, the object lies beyond the center of curvature of the mirror, the image will lie between C and f.
Distance of the object from the focus is : x=f+d1
Distance of image from the focus is : y=f−d2
Using Newton's formula for mirror : xy=f2 (f+d1)(f−d2)=f2 f2−fd2+fd1−d1d2=f2
