Assertion : If two rays start from a point along different paths and then meet again at some point then this point is called real image.
Reason: Convex mirror can never form a real image.

Options

A. If both assertion and reason are correct and rason is a correct explanation of the assertion.
B. If both assertion and reason are correct but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
C. If assertion is correct but reason is incorrect.
D. If assertion is incorrect but reason is correct.

Answer

To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided:

**Assertion:** If two rays start from a point along different paths and then meet again at some point, then this point is called a real image.

**Reason:** Convex mirror can never form a real image.

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Understanding the Assertion:**
- The assertion states that if two rays of light diverge from a point and converge at another point after reflecting or refracting, that point is termed a "real image."
- A real image is formed when light rays actually converge at a point in space. This is typically seen in lenses and concave mirrors.

2. **Analyzing the Reason:**
- The reason states that a convex mirror can never form a real image.
- A convex mirror always produces virtual images because the reflected rays diverge, and the image appears to be behind the mirror. Therefore, it cannot form a real image of a real object.

3. **Conclusion:**
- The assertion is correct because it accurately describes the formation of a real image.
- The reason is incorrect because it does not consider the possibility of a convex mirror forming a virtual image, which is its characteristic. While it is true that a convex mirror cannot form a real image of a real object, the statement is incomplete as it does not mention virtual objects.

4. **Final Answer:**
- The assertion is true, but the reason is false. Therefore, the correct conclusion is that the assertion is correct, while the reason is incorrect.
