Directions:
Each of these questions contains two statements, Assertion and Reason. Each of these also has four alternative choices, only one of which is the correct answer. You have to select one of the code (a), (c) and (d) given below.
a) Assertion is correct, reason is correct, reason is a correct explanation for assertion
b) Assertion is correct, reason is correct, reason is not a correct explanation for assertion
c) Assertion is correct, reason is incorrect.
d) Assertion is incorrect, reason is correct
Assertion:
The image of an extended object placed perpendicular to the principal axis of a mirror, will be erect if the object is real but the image is virtual.
Reason:
The image of an extended object placed perpendicular to the principal axis of a mirror, will be erect if the object is virtual but the image is real.
