The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the characteristics of the images formed by different types of mirrors. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Boojho's Image**: - Boojho sees his image as erect and of the same size. - This characteristic is typical of a **plane mirror**. In a plane mirror, the image formed is always virtual, erect, and of the same size as the object. 2. **Understanding Paheli's Image**: - Paheli sees her image as erect but smaller in size. - This characteristic is typical of a **convex mirror**. A convex mirror always produces a virtual image that is erect and smaller than the object, regardless of the object's distance from the mirror. 3. **Conclusion**: - Given the above observations: - Boojho's mirror is a **plane mirror**. - Paheli's mirror is a **convex mirror**. ### Final Answer: - Boojho's mirror is a **plane mirror** and Paheli's mirror is a **convex mirror**. ---
