The correct Answer is:
To solve the given question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step 1: Understanding the Assertion - The assertion states that a concave mirror can produce a virtual image of a virtual object. - A virtual object is formed when the rays of light appear to diverge from a point behind the mirror. In the case of a concave mirror, it typically converges light rays to form real images. However, if the object is virtual (i.e., the rays appear to come from a point behind the mirror), the concave mirror cannot produce a virtual image from this virtual object. Thus, the assertion is **incorrect**. ### Step 2: Understanding the Reason - The reason states that a convex mirror cannot form an image of a virtual object. - A convex mirror always diverges light rays. When light rays diverge, they appear to come from a point behind the mirror, which means that they can indeed form virtual images. Therefore, the statement that a convex mirror cannot form an image of a virtual object is also **incorrect**. ### Step 3: Conclusion - Since both the assertion and the reason are incorrect, the final conclusion is that both the assertion and the reason are false. ### Final Answer Both the assertion and the reason are incorrect. ---
