as given below:
(a) Both A and R are true, and R is correct explanation of the assertion.
(b) Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
(c) A is true, but R is false.
(d) A is false, nut R is true.

Q12. Assertion: A convex mirror is used as a driver’s mirror.

Reason: Images formed in a convex mirror are diminished.

image and the mirror?
