For which positions of the object does a concave mirror produce an inverted, magnified and real image?

When an object is placed at the focus or between the focus $(F)$ and centre of curvature $(C)$ of a concave mirror, the image produced is inverted, magnified and real.

Explanation

A concave mirror is a mirror that is curved inward in the middle. It is also known as converging mirrors, due to the fact that when parallel incident rays fall on the surface of the mirror, the rays will reflect and meet at a particular point and form the image.

Depending on the position of the object with respect to the mirror, the types of images it forms are real, inverted as well as virtual and erect, also the size of the images formed are magnified, diminished as well as the same size as that of th object.
