Question

Choose the correct option and explain:

Aman is standing at 5m away from a plane mirror, what will be the distance between the image formed in the mirror and Aman?

(A) 2.5m
(B) 12m
(C) 5m
(D) 10m​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Distance between the man and his image is 5 m when the man is 2.5 m away from the mirror. Therefore, he has to walk 10 m - 2.5m = 7.5 m towards the mirror.

Answer 2

(D) 10m

Distance of the objects and the image formed is same. Here Aman is standing 5m away from the mirror, then the image will also be 5m away, so total distance will be 5 + 5 = 10m.
