Breal, in front of it
Cright at its own pole
Dat the curvature centre
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. virtual, behind the mirror
1. In a convex mirror, parallel rays diverge after reflection.
2. Extending the reflected rays backward, they appear to meet behind the mirror.
3. So its focus is virtual and lies behind the mirror.
