D virtual, erect and reduced
Answer :   real, inverted and magnified

39. In an experiment to determine the focal length $$(f)$$ of a concave mirror by the $$u - v$$  method, a student places the object pin $$A$$ on the principal axis at a distance $$x$$ from the pole $$P.$$ The student looks at the pin and its inverted image from a distance keeping his/her eye in line with $$PA.$$ When the student shifts his/her eye towards left, the image appears to the right of the object pin.
