The mirror would be

​

Answer 1

Answer:

The mirror is convex.

Since image is formed inside the mirror it is a virtual image and in this case virtual image can only be formed in a convex mirror.

Answer 2

Answer:

When the image is being formed inside the mirror, the mirror would be convex.

Explanation:

• Here it is given that the rays of light are falling parallel on the surface of the mirror and the given image is formed inside the mirror.
• Since this is the case only when the mirror is convex in nature the image would be formed inside and would be virtual in nature.
• This virtual image formed would be less in size than the original image.
• If it is formed at a certain distance from the mirror but when the images formed near the mirror then this image would be bigger.
