Regarding reflection by plane and spherical mirrors and, assuming that the object could be real or virtual, match Column-I with Column-II. Also assume (i) length of the object is perpendicular to the principal axis of the mirror in case of spherical mirror and (ii) length of the object is parallel to the plane of mirror in case of a plane mirror :
Column-I | Column-II |
(i) Image is real and erect | [A] Plane mirror |
(ii) Virtual image of the same size as the object | [B] Convex mirror |
(iii)Virtual image of a size smaller than the object | [C] Concave mirror |
(iv) Real image of a size greater than the object | [D]This is not possible |

- Plane Mirror: Always forms virtual images that are of the same size as the object and erect. Thus, (i) could be matched with [A] Plane mirror.
- Convex Mirror: Forms virtual images that are smaller than the object and erect. Hence, (ii) for virtual image of the same size does not match. So, (ii) could match with [B] Convex mirror because it forms a virtual image smaller than that of the object.
- Concave Mirror: Can produce virtual images that are larger than the object if the object is placed between the focal point and the mirror. Thus, (iii) matched with [C] Concave mirror since it can create smaller virtual images.
- Real Image: A real image of a size greater than the object cannot be formed by any type of mirror. Consequently, (iv) matches with [D] This is not possible.
(i) - A, (ii) - B, (iii) - C, (iv) - D. Thus, the correct answer option is A.
