The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: The assertion states that dentists use concave mirrors to view a magnified image of teeth. This is true because concave mirrors can produce a magnified virtual image when the object (in this case, teeth) is placed between the mirror's pole and its focus. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: The reason provided is that a concave mirror is more cost-effective. This is where the statement becomes questionable. While concave mirrors are commonly used in dental practices, they are not necessarily more cost-effective than other types of mirrors. The primary reason for their use is their ability to produce a magnified image, not their cost. 3. **Conclusion**: Since the assertion is true (dentists do use concave mirrors for magnification), but the reason is false (the cost-effectiveness of concave mirrors is not the reason for their use), the correct relationship is that the assertion is true and the reason is false. 4. **Final Answer**: Therefore, the answer to the question is that the assertion is true, and the reason is false.
