Detailed explanation-1: -Assertion :We cannot produce a real image by plane or convex mirrors under any circumstances. Reason: If image distance of a real object in front of a convex mirror is taken as negative, then the focal length of a convex mirror is taken as positive.

Detailed explanation-2: -Concave mirrors can produce both real and virtual images depending on the distance from the mirror to the object and the curvature of the mirror, while convex mirrors produce only virtual images.

Detailed explanation-3: -The image produced by a convex mirror is always virtual, and located behind the mirror. When the object is far away from the mirror the image is upright and located at the focal point.

Detailed explanation-4: -It is to be remembered that a convex mirror always forms virtual, erect and diminished image: irrespective of object distance .

Detailed explanation-5: -Concave mirrors form both real and virtual images. When the concave mirror is placed very close to the object, a virtual and magnified image is obtained and if we increase the distance between the object and the mirror, the size of the image reduces and real images are formed.
