Image of an object in a convex mirror is

The image formed by a plane mirror is upright.

Assertion : For real objects, image formed by a convex mirror always lies between pole and focus. Reason : When object moves from pole to infinity, its image will move from pole to focus.

Assertion : A convex mirror is preferred over a plane mirror in vehicles to observer traffic coming from behind. Reason : Images formed by convex mirrors are erect and diminished in size.
