A person standing in front of mirror finds his image larger than himself. This implies that the mirror is:

A) convex           

B) parabolic

C) plane

D) concave

Correct Answer: D

Solution :

Suppose man stand in front of concave mirror at a distance P (where p is greater than focal length f of mirror), It will form a real image. The image is magnified one. On the other hand convex mirror produce an image reduced in size as follows. For a plane mirror the image is always the same distance behind the mirror as the object is in front and of same equal size.
