The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question:** The question asks about the type of mirror where the distance of the image formed is the same as the distance of the object from the mirror. 2. **Identifying Mirror Types:** There are different types of mirrors: - Plane mirrors - Spherical mirrors (concave and convex) 3. **Analyzing Plane Mirrors:** In a plane mirror, the image formed is virtual and located behind the mirror. The distance of the image from the mirror is equal to the distance of the object from the mirror. If an object is placed at a distance 'd' from the mirror, the image will also be at a distance 'd' behind the mirror. 4. **Analyzing Spherical Mirrors:** For spherical mirrors (both concave and convex), the distance of the image does not always equal the distance of the object. The image distance varies depending on the position of the object relative to the focal point and the mirror. 5. **Conclusion:** The only type of mirror where the distance of the image is the same as the distance of the object is the **plane mirror**. **Final Answer:** The distance of the image formed inside a **plane mirror** is the same as the distance of the object from the mirror. ---
