A : Plane and convex mirrors can produce real images of objects.
R : A plane of convex mirror can produce a real image if the object is virtual.

A

If both Assertion & Reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion, then mark (1).

B

If both Assertion & Reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion, then mark (2).

C

If Assertion is true statement but Reason is false, then mark (3).

D

If both Assertion and Reason are false statements, then mark (4).

The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the assertion (A) and the reason (R) provided: **Assertion (A):** Plane and convex mirrors can produce real images of objects. **Reason (R):** A plane or convex mirror can produce a real image if the object is virtual. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion (A):** - Plane mirrors and convex mirrors are known for producing virtual images. - A plane mirror always produces a virtual image that is the same size as the object and located behind the mirror. - A convex mirror also produces virtual images that are smaller than the object and located behind the mirror. 2. **Analyzing the Reason (R):** - The reason states that a plane or convex mirror can produce a real image if the object is virtual. - This statement is misleading. In optics, a real image is formed when light rays converge, which typically occurs with concave mirrors or convex lenses, not with plane or convex mirrors. 3. **Conclusion on Assertion and Reason:** - The assertion (A) is incorrect because plane and convex mirrors do not produce real images; they produce virtual images. - The reason (R) is also incorrect because it suggests that plane and convex mirrors can produce real images under certain conditions, which is not true. 4. **Final Answer:** - Both the assertion and reason are incorrect. Therefore, the correct option would be that both A and R are false.
