Answer:
The image formed on the mirror is of the same size as the object and the distance of the object from the mirror is the same as the distance of the image formed from the base of the mirror. So the ratio of the size of the image to the size of the object is 1 ,i.e, is the same, hence the 1. The positive sign denotes that the image is erect and not inverted.
trivia: the image formed is always virtual, i.e, the image is rotated 180 degrees on the vertical axis.
